Status of Capital Projects Executive Summary February 20, 2020

1. Projects completed:

One major project was completed since the last report. The UTL Electric Feeder J and Feeder I Upgrade 2019 project completes a major electric utility conversion from 4,160 Volt distribution system to a modern 12,470 Volt system. This current project was one of many over the last decade in completing this strategic conversion. The new 12,470 Volt system is more efficient and adds substantial electrical capacity to our campus. In addition, the system was designed and installed to offer maximum redundancy to boost reliability of service. This last project impacted Campus Avenue Building, Williams Hall, Hanna House, Wells Hall, Goggin Ice Arena, and the Recreational Sports Center. The project was completed under budget. Nine projects under $500,000 were completed since the last report.

2. Projects added:

Six major projects and 23 projects under $500,000 were added since the last report. The Central Campus Hot Water Conversion and the South Quad Hot Water Conversion Phase 2 are important infrastructure projects supporting the Utility Master Plan. Both projects are expanding simultaneous heating and cooling, converting the legacy high-pressure steam system to more efficient heating hot water, and addressing deferred maintenance in several buildings on campus. Both projects are important elements in meeting strategic energy reduction and campus sustainability goals of decommissioning coal-fired steam systems by 2026. The King Library Renovation 2020 will reconfigure space on the lower level, first, and second floors to modernize and offer programming, meeting the needs of today’s students. The South Quad Tunnel Top Phase 2 project continues necessary infrastructure upgrades in conjunction with building renovation projects. The University Hall Nursing Renovation provides substantial improvements to technology and quality of space for nursing on our Hamilton Campus. The project also addresses deferred maintenance in the existing building. Improvements in the space will align with technology and pedagogy expected in the new Clinical Health Sciences facility on the Oxford Campus. Finally, generous donor support has allowed us to begin design of a new indoor arena at our Equestrian Center. This is a welcome addition to this popular program.

3. Projects in progress:

The Harris Hall Renovation is a fast-paced project that began in December 2019. Demolition work occurred throughout the holiday season and early January. Work is progressing on schedule with framing and installation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. The student health services clinics, counseling and wellness are expected to move into this space in May 2020. Pearson Hall Phase 2 Renovation remains well ahead of schedule. Punchlist items are being addressed on the second and third floors. Casework is being installed on the first floor. The lower level is the least complete with flooring and ceiling installation underway. The renovation of Stanton Hall is progressing well. The third floor is the most complete with door hardware now being installed. The first and second floors are not too far behind with electrical and data devices being terminated. Restroom tile installation is continuing throughout the building. The project is comfortably tracking within schedule.

IN DESIGN (Pre-Contract)

1. Clinical Health Sciences Facility: Heflin A Programming Committee comprised of faculty, administration and Physical Facilities staff was convened in January 2019 to determine the program of the facility. The team is working with the Criteria AE firm of Moody Nolan and Perkins and Will to develop the Program of Requirements, assist in site selection analysis, and provide Conceptual and Schematic Design.

The health services and counseling clinics and the student wellness organization are included in the health sciences facility, along with the Speech Pathology and Audiology clinic and academic program, Nursing, and the new Physician Assistant program. The Clinical Health Sciences facility site is to be built on the existing footprint of the health and counseling center and adjacent parking lot. This location will require relocating the clinic operations to Harris Hall while the new facility is under construction. The project’s $96,000,000 budget includes the $6,200,000 Harris Hall renovation budget which was previously approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the program spaces include simulation and skills labs, a standardized patient clinic, speech and audiology research labs, gross anatomy and health innovation labs, as well as classrooms and faculty/staff offices.

The project is completing the Schematic Design phase. Messer Construction, the design-build firm, will commence with Design Development and into Construction Documentation, which includes early site utility packages. These packages are being developed simultaneously to prepare for the Health Services Center demolition and site construction to begin in June 2020.

Delivery Method: Design-Build

Proposed Budget: $96,000,000 Funding Source Desired Start: Summer 2020 TBD TBD Desired Completion: Summer 2022 Total TBD

2. Dodds Hall Renovation: Morris This project will renovate Dodds Residence Hall at the northeast corner of the South Quad as a continuation of the 2010 Long Range Housing Master Plan. This will be the last of the South Quad halls to be renovated. Dodds Hall will receive an upgrade very similar to what was completed at Porter Hall – mechanical systems, energy efficiency, finishes and accessibility. The design includes improvements in the heating, cooling, plumbing and life safety systems, as well as the building envelope. The renovation extends the life of the facility.

The GMP negotiation has been completed. The Design-Build team has bid the work and will begin ordering long lead time materials for the project. The renovation is expected to begin in June 2020 and will continue over the 2020-2021 school year.

3. High Street Safety Enhancements: Christian This project will enhance pedestrian safety on High Street between Patterson Avenue and Campus Avenue, and also on Patterson Avenue between State Route 73 and Withrow Street. The project includes refuge islands, planted medians, safety signals, lighting, sidewalks, and reducing the number of crosswalks.

In the spring of 2018, the City of Oxford and Miami University jointly applied for and were awarded a transportation safety grant in the amount of $1 Million from the Ohio Department of Transportation. The grant requires a minimum 15% local match for construction.

The City of Oxford and the University have developed a Memorandum of Understanding identifying the roles of staff and financial contributions from each entity. The University will perform the majority of design, project management, and day-to-day construction administration, with the City acting as the official Local Public Agency during bidding and construction. The University will fund the local construction match, design and administration fees, and contingency for the safety enhancements. The City will provide the local construction match and perform the design for the paving portion of the project.

The work will also include additional islands on Patterson and North Patterson Avenue to ensure the safety of pedestrians throughout this corridor. The project replaces the sidewalk along the entire south side of High Street between Patterson Avenue and Campus Avenue.

4. Ogden Hall / Bell Tower Place Dining Renovation: Morris This project will renovate Ogden Residence Hall and Bell Tower Place Dining Hall, both within the same building. This is a continuation of the 2010 Long Range Housing Master Plan. Ogden Hall will receive an upgrade in the mechanical systems, fire suppression, energy efficiency, finishes, interior renovations and accessibility. The design includes improvements in the heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, life safety systems, as well as the building envelope. The renovation extends the life of the facility.

The existing Dining Hall will be remodeled to provide a contemporary and modernized dining facility meeting the needs and expectations of the students. It will feature flexible food offering stations that may easily be converted without replacing equipment. The renovated facility will be operated as a buffet-style venue and feature expanded and unique menus, visible food prep areas, and will create an environment that has the same quality that is present in the newer dining facilities. A C-Store (convenience store) will be moved outside of the dining zone and will offer popular pre-packaged food options for grab-and-go, dry goods, and refrigerated goods.

A criteria architect has been selected. The selection process for the Design-Build team is underway and will be completed in February 2020.

5. South Quad Tunnel Top Phase 2: (New Project This Report) Morris The utilities around Miami’s campus utilize tunnels in many areas. These tunnels allow for easier maintenance and upgrade of the utility distribution systems. The tunnels across campus vary greatly in age and condition. The tunnel tops are being updated in phases with a new, more efficient top design. The tunnels in the South Quad are circa 1960. This project will replace the tunnel tops on the east side of the quadrangle from Center Drive to Harris Hall’s breezeway. The project will also repair portions of the pipe insulation inside this tunnel. This project will complete the tunnel replacements in the South Quad area. Other tunnel tops were completed in conjunction with the adjacent residence hall renovations.

IN PLANNING (Pre-A&E)

1. Central Campus Hot Water Conversion: (New Project This Report) Van Winkle As part of the Campus Utility Master Plan, the Central Campus Hot Water Conversion Project will convert a large portion of the central quadrangle of campus from steam to hot water. This project includes the creation of a new satellite campus heating plant to be located in the basement of Upham Hall. Hot water piping will be extended from this new satellite campus heating plant to the buildings in central area of campus. The project will also create redundant connections to the existing distribution piping from the South Chiller Plant. The cross connection between the two plants will improve robustness and reliability for both the South Chiller Plant and the new Central Campus Utility Plant. The new hot water piping will be located in the existing tunnel systems and will be direct buried in other locations. Hot water connection and conversion of Ogden is occurring as that building is being renovated. Hot water connection and conversion to Williams, Bonham House, Warfield, MacMillan, Kreger, Irvin, Alumni, Bishop, McGuffey, Hall Auditorium, King Library, Harrison and Upham will occur as part of this project.

This project is a key step in the Utility Master Plan to meet strategic energy reduction and campus sustainability goals of decommissioning coal-fired steam systems by 2026. The scope of the project includes direct buried hot water piping, direct buried chilled water piping and converting the buildings named above from steam heating to hot water heating. The change from steam to hot water will improve both the efficiency and reliability of heating the central portion of the campus.

6. South Quad Hot Water Conversion Phase 2: (New Project This Report) Van Winkle As part of the Campus Utility Master Plan, the South Quad Hot Water Conversion Phase 2 will extend hydronic heating and cooling infrastructure from the recently completed South Quad Hot Water Conversion project. The hydronic infrastructure installed under this project will serve the Campus Avenue Building and be sized to serve future buildings in the newly formed Health District of campus. The hydronic infrastructure is planned to eventually extend North across Spring Street ultimately connecting to the future Central Campus Utility Plant. This extension will occur in a future project under the Utility Master Plan. The cross connection will improve robustness and reliability of the existing South Chiller Plant and the future Central Campus Utility Plant. In addition, the project is budgeted to convert Hanna House to heating hot water. The team is evaluating if an appropriate return on investment exists to advance this component of the work.

This project is a key step in the Utility Master Plan to meet strategic energy reduction and campus sustainability goals of decommissioning coal-fired steam systems by 2026. The scope of the project includes direct buried hot water piping, direct buried chilled water piping, converting Campus Avenue Building from steam heating to hot water heating, removing an air-cooled chiller from the building and converting the cooling system to use campus chilled water. Both the change from steam to hot water and the change from stand-alone air-cooled chiller to campus chilled water will improve the efficiency and reliability of heating and cooling the building.

Glossary of Terms

Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) – is a delivery method which entails a commitment by the construction manager to deliver the project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The owner contracts the architectural and engineering services to perform the design from concept through construction bid documents using the construction manager as a consultant. The construction manager acts as the equivalent of a general contractor during the construction phase. CMR arrangement eliminates a "Low Bid" construction project. This method will typically be used on projects with high complexity and demanding completion schedules.

Contingency – includes both owner contingency and the D/B or CMR contingency where applicable.

Cost of the Work – is the cost of construction. This includes general condition fees, contractor overhead and profit, D/B or CMR construction stage personnel.

Design & Administration – includes all professional services to support the work. This consists of base Architect/Engineer (A/E) fees, A/E additional services, A/E reimbursables, non-error/omission A/E contingency fees, geotechnical services, special inspection services partnering services, multi-vista photo documentation of projects, D/B or CMR pre-construction services, third party estimator, and local administration fees.

Design Build (D/B) – is a project delivery method in which the design and construction services are contracted by a single entity and delivered within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Design Build relies on a single point of responsibility contract and is used to minimize risks for the project owner and to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project. This method will typically be used on projects with less complexity and have demanding completion schedules.

Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) – is the negotiated contract for construction services when using D/B or CMR. The owner negotiates a reasonable maximum price for the project (or component of the project) to be delivered within the prescribed schedule. The D/B firm or CMR is responsible for delivering the project within the agreed upon GMP. This process eliminates bidding risks experienced by the owner, allows creative value engineering (VE) to manage the budget, and permits portions of the work to begin far earlier than traditional bidding of the entire project.

Multiple Prime Contracting – is a project delivery method historically allowed by the State of Ohio. The owner contracts the architectural and engineering services to perform the design from concept through construction bid documents. The construction services are divided into various trade specialties – each bid as a separate contract (general, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, sprinkler, etc.). The owner is responsible for managing the terms of each contract and coordinating the work between the multiple contractors.

Owner Costs – are costs directly borne by the owner to complete the project. This includes furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), audio/visual (A/V), IT networking, percent for art (applicable on State funded projects exceeding $4 million), printing and advertising expenses, and any special moving or start-up funds.

Preconstruction Services – are the development and design services provided by a D/B firm or CMR to the owner. These services are typically performed for an identified cost prior to the negotiation of a GMP. These services are included in “Design and Administration.”

Single Prime Contracting – is a project delivery method in which the owner contracts the architectural and engineering services to perform the design from concept through construction bid documents. The construction services are contracted separately, but through a single entity. Single Prime Contracting is beneficial on projects with specialized construction requiring more owner oversight or control. This method will typically be used on projects with high complexity and low schedule importance.

January 27, 2020

BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that University Senate endorse proposed revisions to the Miami University Policy and Information Manual (MUPIM) 7.11, Teaching, Clinical Professors and Lecturers, as set forth below:

Decisions about faculty composition should be made at the divisional level and should be made in adherence to the teacher-scholar model that is central to the mission of Miami University as well as in accordance with principles of shared governance that respect both divisional and departmental goals. Faculty composition are influenced by multiple factors, including strategic goals, budgetary resources, and curricular offerings and demand. Each dean prepares a hiring plan for their unit every fiscal year for review and approval by the Provost. The Provost owns every vacant faculty line, and allocates them according to mutually-agreed-upon hiring plans. Divisional hiring plans need to reflect and be responsive to budget, curricular demands, strategic priorities, and should ensure the division is within any policy constraints on faculty composition approved through appropriate processes within the division.

Overall Page 45 of 230 Attachment Page 1 of 3 Attachment B Senate Update February 20 and 21, 2020

Limitation on Number of Teaching, Clinical Professors and Lecturers (TCPLs)

TCPLs may not exceed the following percentages of total number of full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty within each division:

CAS: 25.0%

CCA: 25.0%

EHS: 35.0%

CEC: 25.0%

FSB: 25.0%

CLAAS: 30.0%

Divisions must work within the structure of governance processes to modify this limitation and to address faculty composition more broadly. Divisions must adhere to their faculty composition policy and the dean of the college/school must annually communicate with faculty on current and historical trends in faculty mix. This communication should provide context including relevant budgetary resources and curricular needs. The provost will annually update the University Senate on changes to divisional policies and faculty mix. Any changes that incur a raising of the new caps in this resolution must be approved by Senate.

Appointment to a TCPL position requires either:

1. a competitive search; or 2. the approval of the Provost upon the positive evaluation and recommendation of the department if required by departmental governance, the department chair, the program director (when appropriate), and dean for a person currently holding another instructional staff position at Miami University.

SR 20-08 approved by voice vote with 2 nays and 3 abstentions.

SR 20-09 February 10, 2020 BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that University Senate endorse the proposed degree, Bachelor of Science in Education, with a major in Primary Education, School of Education, Health and Society;

AND FURTHERMORE, that the endorsement by University Senate of the proposed degree and major will be forwarded to the Miami University Board of Trustees for consideration.

SR 20-09 approved unanimously by voice vote.

Proposal to Partition the Department of Kinesiology and Health Executive Summary

The Department of Kinesiology and Health, in the College of Education, Health, and Society, is requesting to partition into two separate departments of Sport Leadership and Management (SLAM) and Kinesiology and Health (KNH). Both departments would remain in the College of Education, Health, and Society. The SLAM department would consist of academic undergraduate majors in Sport Leadership and Management, undergraduate minors in Sport Management, Coaching, and Sport Analytics, and a Master of Science in Sport Leadership. The KNH department would consist of academic undergraduate majors in Kinesiology, Public Health, Nutrition, and Athletic Training, an undergraduate minor in Nutrition, and a Master of Science in Kinesiology and Health.

The proposal to partition KNH is following the University Senate guidelines for the Consolidation, Partition, Transfer, or Elimination of Academic Divisions, Department, or Programs (Bylaws of the University Senate, Section 8.A). Provost Osborne deemed the proposal worthy of consideration and presented the proposal to the University Senate on October 7, 2019. The University Senate voted to approve the recommendation for the partitioning process to move forward. A process coordinator (Dr. John Bailer) and a faculty partitioning committee, with representatives from SLAM and KNH, are working to finalize an impact analysis regarding benefits and impacts on the University mission, all constituents and affected units, and budget. The University Senate, Council of Academic Deans and all affected administrators, departments, and programs will be kept informed of the progress toward partitioning. On December 2, 2019, the process coordinator and the University Senate shall make a recommendation to the Provost. If approved, the partitioning to two new departments would be implemented by the Fall of 2020.

Benefit to Students and Faculty

The Department of Kinesiology and Health is the largest department on campus with 1,670 undergraduate (UG) students, 86 graduate students, and 54 full-time (FT) faculty. Partitioning the current KNH department would result in two viable and robust departments: KNH (950 UG students, 41 Graduate students, 25 FT faculty) and SLAM (720 UG students, 45 Graduate students, 13 FT faculty). With a successful partitioning, these two departments would move forward with two very distinct academic missions and clear benefits to students and faculty.

Partitioning Kinesiology, Public Health, Nutrition, and Athletic Training to form the Department of Kinesiology and Health would result in benefits that include: a) more shared academic mission with a health focus and cohesive plan for experiential learning, internships, and research laboratories for interventions and assessment of human clinical health and performance that occurs among these related majors, b) more effective attention to advising and career planning for future health-related professions, and c) potential to create new nationally recognized accredited programs (e.g. Orthopedic Professionals’ Orthopedic Physician Extender program, Clinical Trial Coordinator, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Clinical Exercise Physiologist).

A focused, autonomous Department of Sport Leadership and Management would result in benefits that include: a) creating a unique program of study designed to critically analyze and innovatively engage in important leadership and social change in the business and culture of sport, b) having the ability to grow with more attention given to individual disciplines such as sport psychology, sport analytics, coaching, and sport management, c) providing SLAM the opportunity to develop its brand internally through partnerships with other Miami departments (e.g., collaborations with Farmer School of Business and Department of Statistics for Boldly Creative Analytics and Sport Analytics initiative), as well as external sport business units and potential donors, and d) providing more effective advising (e.g., research and internship experiences) and career planning for sport related professions.

Potential Financial Implications

The costs associated with partitioning the department would be minimal and outweighed by the potential growth in new revenue. Anticipated costs include administrative stipends, support staff, and renovation for a second department office space located in Phillips Hall. The projected costs for creating two distinct departments, after the one-time estimated expense for construction of a SLAM departmental office, is under $55,000 annually. This is minimal when compared to the projected annual surplus of close to $6,000,000 for each department.

Alignment with the University's Strategic Plan

Miami’s new Strategic Plan calls for reorganizing the academic structure and it has been made clear that incremental change is not enough. Change is sometimes difficult, especially significant changes such as partitioning a department. Partitioning into two new departments represents a bold step forward and an exciting opportunity for change, growth, and renewal for both SLAM and KNH.

Assessment and Impact Analysis to Partition the Department of Kinesiology and Health

On November 22, 2019 the Department of Kinesiology and Health passed the following motion:

Partition the Department of Kinesiology and Health into two separate departments: a Department of Sport Leadership and Management and a Department of Kinesiology and Health.

The proposal to partition KNH is following the University Senate guidelines for the Consolidation, Partition, Transfer, or Elimination of Academic Divisions, Department, or Programs (Bylaws of the University Senate, Section 8.A). Provost Osborne deemed the proposal worthy of consideration and presented the proposal to the University Senate on October 7, 2019. The University Senate voted to approve the recommendation for the partitioning process to move forward. A process coordinator (Dr. John Bailer) and a faculty partitioning committee, with representatives from SLAM and KNH, worked to finalize an impact analysis regarding benefits and impacts on the University mission, all constituents and affected units, and budget. The University Senate, Council of Academic Deans and all affected administrators, departments, and programs were kept informed of the progress toward partitioning. On December 2, 2019, the process coordinator will present a final report to the University Senate. After discussion and debate, it is expected that the University Senate will make a recommendation to the Provost. If the Provost approves, the partitioning to two new departments would be implemented by Fall of 2020.

Benefit to Students and Faculty

The Department of Kinesiology and Health (KNH), in the College of Education, Health, and Society (EHS), is requesting to partition into two separate departments of Sport Leadership and Management (SLAM) and Kinesiology and Health. Both departments would remain in EHS. The SLAM department would consist of academic undergraduate majors in Sport Leadership and Management, undergraduate minors in Sport Management, Coaching, and Sport Analytics, and a Master of Science in Sport Leadership. The new KNH department would consist of academic undergraduate majors in Kinesiology, Public Health, Nutrition, and Athletic Training, an undergraduate minor in Nutrition, and a Master of Science in Kinesiology and Health.

The Department of Kinesiology and Health is one of the largest departments on campus with 1,670 undergraduate (UG) students, 66 graduate students, and 43 full-time (FT) faculty. Partitioning the current KNH department would result in two viable and robust departments: KNH (950 UG students, 40 Graduate/BAMA Combined students, 30 FT faculty) and SLAM (720 UG students, 26 Graduate/BAMA Combined students, 13 FT faculty). With a successful partitioning, these two departments would move forward with two very distinct academic missions and clear benefits to students and faculty.

Budgeting and Potential Financial Implications

Assignment and Use of Space for Both Departments in Phillips Hall

The partitioning of the Department of Kinesiology and Health into two separate and equal new departments in the College of Education, Health, and Society will require the sharing of space in Phillips Hall. It is anticipated that both of the departments will continue to be housed in Phillips Hall. The new KNH and the new SLAM agree to communicate with each other and try to reach mutual agreements about the use of any space in Phillips Hall.

Common areas in Phillips Hall will be shared equally among faculty, staff and students in both KNH and SLAM departments. Any changes to common areas should be agreed upon by both departments. If an agreement cannot be reached, the EHS Dean will meet with both department chairs to reach a decision.

SLAM and KNH recognize that most decisions about the use of Phillips Hall is not under the control of either department. Any changes (such as renovation or use) to any of these areas should be communicated to and discussed by both departments. Class scheduling will occur with the guidance of the registrar and representation from each department in order to share the space fairly. If an agreement cannot be reached, the EHS Dean will meet with both department chairs to reach a decision.

The current process in place for determining faculty office selection in Phillips Hall should a faculty office become available shall remain in place.

Courses, Scholarships/Endowments, and Graduate Assistantships

All SLAM graduate and undergraduate courses will use SLM as a subject identifier. All KNH courses will continue to use KNH. Courses were designated as SLM or KNH based upon the faculty who teach the course and/or the student majors/minors who take the course. All physical activity type of courses will be moved to the SLAM department and be taught by SLAM graduate assistants, adjunct instructors or current Miami University employees. All laboratory courses or other courses (e.g., KNH 101, KNH 116) that contain content related to kinesiology or health will be move to the KNH department and be taught by KNH graduate assistants, adjunct instructors, or current Miami University employees. The division of courses (SLM or KNH) was easy given the two distinct missions of the KNH and SLAM programs.

The KNH department offers six scholarships for undergraduate majors. These six scholarships were divided between SLAM and KNH based on the intent of the scholarship provider. If the intent of any scholarship provider was not known, the scholarships were divided among the two

Page 3 of 5

Overall Page 56 of 230 Attachment Page 9 of 49 Attachment C ASA Resolutions February 20 and 21, 2020

departments attempting to provide a fair distribution of scholarship funds. The amount of the scholarship funding does vary annually. These scholarships will belong to KNH: Virginia Pierson Guinn Memorial, Victoria L. Eby Memmel, Bonnie Lynn Sollars Pickering Memorial, and Maxine J. Shurtz. These scholarships will belong to SLAM: WRA-Margaret E. Phillips Grant and Hays Sports Study Scholarship. KNH currently has two quasi-endowments. These endowments will be combined and then redistributed with 60% going to KNH and 40% going to SLAM.

Two separate departments will mean graduate programs will also be separated. Both KNH faculty and SLAM faculty are in the process of separating the current Masters’ of Science in Kinesiology and Health with proposals for new MS degrees. Currently the KNH department has graduate assistantships awarded to students on several factors, including academic qualifications and potential teaching and research contributions to program areas. SLAM and KNH have mutually agreed on a division of graduate assistantships for the two new departments.

Faculty

In the partitioning, all tenured, tenure-track, TCPL, and visiting Oxford SLAM faculty will be part of the SLAM Department and all Oxford KNH faculty (tenure-track, TCPL, and visiting) will be part of the KNH Department. Faculty will be assigned based upon their current program area affiliation. There is one faculty member on the regional campus who will have an affiliation with the SLAM department.

Staff

If the partition is approved, the two departments chairs will work with the EHS Dean to determine staffing positions for the two new departments. The current KNH department has two departmental academic advisors so one will go with KNH and one will go with SLAM. The laboratory coordinator for Nutrition will go with the new KNH department. The Physical Activity Life Skills coordinator will go with the new SLAM department. The EHS/KNH/SLM technology staff will continue to serve the faculty, staff and students in Phillips Hall.

Division, other Departments, or other Programs Affected

This partitioning takes a department in the College of Education, Health and Society (EHS) and forms two new departments, both housed in EHS. The Dean of EHS has been consulted as have faculty and staff members across the division. The partitioning process and information have been shared widely with divisions, departments, and programs; and with all interested parties within and external to Miami.

Transition to Two New Departments

If the partitioning of the Department of Kinesiology and Health is approved, both departments would like to begin a transition period in the Spring 2020. A transition period is needed to organize separate departmental matters, such as, work with the registrar for course designations and scheduling, develop a departmental governance document, committee assignments, staffing assignments, teaching and advising assignments, create materials for student recruitment efforts

Page 4 of 5

Overall Page 57 of 230 Attachment Page 10 of 49 Attachment C ASA Resolutions February 20 and 21, 2020

(e.g., Make it Miami), summer orientation, and other events. Officially, the new KNH and SLAM departments would still be one department with one budget and one chair until July 1, 2020, however, there are several departmental activities that are best handled by the faculty separately in anticipation of the official partitioning.

Ideally, the two new separate departments of Sport Leadership and Management and Kinesiology and Health would begin official operation in the new budget year beginning July 1, 2020.

RESOLUTION R2020 - xx

WHEREAS, University Senate on December 2, 2019 voted unanimously to forward the recommendations of the Classics Consolidation process coordinator to the Provost for consideration; and

WHEREAS, it is the recommendation of the Dean of the College of Arts and Science, the Provost, and the President, to consolidate the Department of Classics with the Department of French and Italian.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees hereby approves the consolidation of the Department of Classics with the Department of French and Italian, to become effective on date determined by the Provost; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that for the present the consolidated Department’s name shall be the Department of French and Italian, until such time that a new name is proposed and approved.

Overall Page 59 of 230 Attachment Page 12 of 49 Attachment C Classics, FrenchASA andResolutions Italian Consolidation February 20 and 21, 2020

I write to request and support the consolidation of the Department of Classics with the Department of French and Italian, effective Fall, 2020. This consolidation has been requested by the faculty of the Department of Classics and recommended by University Senate, the department chair, dean, and provost. It will streamline and enhance offerings and improve efficiencies in the College of Arts and Science.

This recommendation was reached following procedures outlined in the Bylaws of University Senate, Section 8.A, SR 14.01. Following a Program Review report of fall, 2018, the Classics faculty formally requested a study of possible consolidation with a closely related department. Provost Callahan appointed Prof. Terri Barr (MKT) as process coordinator. The process coordinator recommended merging Classics with French and Italian due to the synergies and overlaps among the fields. This recommendation was delivered to the Provost in December, 2019.

The consolidation better aligns resources with declining student demand and streamlines administrative burdens. It will also facilitate the development of more efficient and creative shared curriculum in Romance languages and cultures and their ancient origins. Study abroad programs in Italy and Greece also have the potential to grow through this consolidation.

Background

The study of ancient Greece and Rome and their languages is a long-standing and distinguished field at Miami University. It is also a traditional hallmark of a strong liberal arts institution. At Miami, it has productive and dedicated faculty, and student demand for introductory MPF courses has not flagged. Nonetheless, in the last decade upper-level enrollments in Classics, and language courses in Latin and Ancient Greek have been in decline both locally and nationally (see the 2019 MLA study "Enrollments in Languages Other Than English"). With these low numbers, the department was on the edge of viability.

The newly consolidated department will have a total of approximately 60 majors, roughly evenly divided among French, Italian Studies, and Classical Studies. It will serve a total of 165 minors, over 600 students enrolled in language courses each semester, and about 250 students in MPF courses. The new department will have 12 continuing faculty (tenure track and TCPL), and 4 VAP’s in a typical year. Taken together, the new unit is viable across all levels of undergraduate offerings.

Administrative Structure

The consolidation will conserve resources by compensating one department chair instead of two, and having one administrative assistant. (In recent years, the administrative assistant position in Classics had been reduced to half-time, and then eliminated, with the work being distributed out among several admins in the building. This arrangement was cumbersome and inefficient.)

Curriculum The Classics program currently offers two majors and one minor. The two majors will be consolidated into one, Classical Studies, effective Fall 2020. Despite some decline, Latin language continues to have

Overall Page 60 of 230 Attachment Page 13 of 49 Attachment C Classics, FrenchASA andResolutions Italian Consolidation February 20 and 21, 2020

sufficient demand to fill multiple sections; it is particularly of interest to high-performing students who studied Latin at private and Catholic high schools, where it continues to be offered. Due to very low demand, Ancient Greek language courses are being discontinued. These changes will enable the faculty to focus on serving students where demand is stronger, and preserves a classical studies option. Courses that can serve all three areas (French, Italian, Classics) are being developed. This should improve efficiency as well.

Personnel There are currently four tenured faculty and one visiting assistant professor in Classics. Three of the four tenured faculty will join the new department. The fourth will move his line to the History department while continuing to contribute some courses to the Classics curriculum. A Memorandum of Understanding is being written to apportion his time.

Department Name

The new department will retain the name French and Italian for the present, as the group works toward finding a new name.

Department of Classics Potential Merger Process Coordinator Report

Executive Summary

In the Spring of 2019, at the April 22 meeting of University Senate, Department of Classics Chair (and member of University Senate), Steven Tuck, asked Senate to accept the Classics Department wish to merge with another department in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). Senate accepted the request, and Provost Callahan appointed Terri F. Barr, Professor in the Department of Marketing, to act as Process Coordinator for this merger (see SR 14-01 for process document). Following SR 14-01, Dr. Barr began a process that included speaking with Dr. Ryan Barilleaux, Interim Chair of Classics, who provided a short summary of the faculty members in the department and the four departments under consideration as merger partners. A meeting with CAS Dean Chris Makaroff, Sr. Associate Dean Renee Baernstein, and Dr. Barilleaux, to review the process took place in early August. At that meeting, a timeline was established that would have a plan from Dr. Barr in front of University Senate by the end of the Fall Semester 2019, and a merger completed by the end of the Spring semester of 2020.

SR 14-01 is the ‘Guide for the Consolidation, Partition, Transfer, or Elimination of Academic Divisions, Department, or Programs’ passed by University Senate on September 23, 2013 and updated on February 6, 2017. SR 14-01 outlines the process being undertaken. (The full resolution is found in Appendix A).

Prior to Dr. Barr’s participation in the process, the Department of Classics had identified several potential merger partners. Members of the Department visited with either Chairs or other faculty members of four CAS departments to gauge interest and fit - German, Russian, Asian and Middle Eastern Languages and Culture (GRAMELAC); History; French and Italian; and Comparative Religion.

In order to ensure that all stakeholders’ interests and concerns were considered in the process, Dr. Barr set up meetings as follows:

7/1/19 - Dr. Ryan Barilleaux - Interim Chair, Classics (by telephone) 8/6/19 - CAS Deans Makaroff and Baernstein, Dr. Barilleaux 9/11/19 - Department of Classics faculty 9/18 to 9/25/19 - 5 Individual Meetings with Classics faculty members 10/1 to 10/7/19 - 4 Individual Meetings with Chairs of Potential merger partners 10/16 to 11/1/19 - 3 Group meetings with Potential merger partner faculty 10/24/19 - Classics students - Classics Club 10/28/19 - Dr. Renee Baernstein, CAS Associate Dean for Curriculum 10/30/19 - Provost Jason Osborne 11/1/19 – Draft report to CAS Dean Makaroff for review and comments 11/4/19 - Written update to Senate 11/5/19 – Draft report to Classics, and Department Chairs for review and comments 11/18 to 11/24/19 – Individual discussions with Classics faculty members, Provost, Dean’s Office, and Chair of History, and Department of French and Italian regarding possible Tuck move to History instead of French and Italian 11/25/19 – Meeting with Classics Faculty to discuss final options 11/25/19 – Updated draft report to CAS Dean Makaroff for review and comments 12/2/19 - Dr. Terri Barr presentation of report to Senate for approval

Note: Faculty members in one department were invited to meet either as a group or individually with Dr. Barr (no one accepted that invitation, although some faculty offered their concerns via email).

Overall Page 62 of 230 Attachment Page 15 of 49 Attachment C Classics, FrenchASA andResolutions Italian Consolidation February 20 and 21, 2020

The Department of Classics expressed a set of priorities that they wanted considered as recommendations for a merger partner were made. They include:

1. Maintaining the integrity of their program, without interference in programming 2. Staying together as a group in order to ensure the integrity of their program 3. Maintaining their visibility as a discipline, including retaining Classics in the name of any merger partner 4. Consideration as a full partner within their new department and the opportunity to offer cross-listed courses 5. Maintaining Greek language courses

Additionally, concerns voiced included being asked to merge again in the future, should they be merged with another small department, and becoming the ‘service’ arm (offering more than their share of service courses) if merged with a larger department.

The Department of Classics underwent an Academic Program Review in November of 2018. The outcome of that review identified several areas of concern that the review team felt needed to be addressed. While the review team strongly recommended that the Department of Classics remain a stand- alone department, they also recognized the enormous challenge associated with resources (to replace faculty lines; take on additional curricular initiatives; recruit students). Recommendations were to streamline the curriculum, increase the number and diversity of majors, enhance experiential programs (study abroad, independent research), increase visibility on campus, and recruit incoming students. In spite of recommending the Department stay a stand-alone entity, the Dean’s office asked for two plans of action. Plan 1 was to continue as a stand-along entity. Plan 2 was a merger with another department amenable to such a plan. (The entire Program Review and the Dean’s Responses to the Review are found in Appendix B.)

Dr. Ryan Barilleaux joined Dr. Barr in meetings with the Department Chairs of the four potential merger partners. In those meetings, it became quickly clear that the Departments of GRAMELAC and History and did not see how a merger with the Department of Classics made sense for them. The department chairs had different set of concerns, including fit and visibility. The Chairs of Comparative Religion and French and Italian were more open to discussing the potential opportunities, although issues around governance, curriculum, and resources were key concerns. Meetings with the faculty of History and Comparative Religion, and emails from concerned faculty in GRAMELAC, uncovered strong misgivings about how a merger with Classics would benefit their own departments.

Of the four departments under consideration as merger partners, the Department of French and Italian (both the Chair and the Faculty) appeared to see this merger as an opportunity for research and teaching collaboration, cross-listed coursework, study abroad, and an opportunity to reshape their own identity and curriculum with their new colleagues.

A draft report recommending that the Classics faculty merge with the Department of French and Italian was circulated for comments before Dr. Barr was to present the report to Senate. At that time, Dr. Tuck asked that he be moved to the Department of History and not the Department of French and Italian. The Department of History was receptive to that move. A discussion with the faculty of the Department of Classics, with input from the Department of French and Italian confirmed that Dr. Tuck wished to move to the Department of History, and the remaining three faculty were strongly in favor of moving to the Department of French and Italian.

Overall Page 63 of 230 Attachment Page 16 of 49 Attachment C Classics, FrenchASA andResolutions Italian Consolidation February 20 and 21, 2020

To that end, Dr. Barr (with the support of Dr. Barilleaux), recommend that the majority of the faculty of the Department of Classics be merged with the Department of French and Italian to form a new department that includes Classics in the name in some fashion, and that Dr. Tuck become a member of the Department of History. An implementation team will be put into place to develop a plan to complete this merger by the beginning of the Fall Semester 2020.

Classics as an Essential Element in Liberal Education

The future of Classics in liberal education has been debated for many years, perhaps most recently at the Society for Classical Studies meeting in 2019. Classics scholars are divided on where they think the future of the field is, however all agree that it is an important discussion to have. Contemplation of the future by scholars of ancient history and languages is a “paradox” as one blogger has written (https://classicalstudies.org/scs-blog/christopher-trinacty/blog-predicting-future-classics). Author Eric Adler, in his book Classics, the Culture Wars and Beyond, suggests that the humanities in general are facing a crisis as they fight for recognition of their value in institutions of higher education. He goes on the say that the study of ancient languages, in particular, gives students “direct access to works of fundamental importance to our civilization” (https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/01/06/author- discusses-his-new-book-state-classicscite).

Kiplinger.com ranks a Classics major #16, in its top 25 undergraduate majors (ahead of business majors), and #2 in liberal arts majors (second only to American Studies). Kiplinger’s writes the “level of critical thinking and research skills required to do it [Classics] is highly marketable in a wide range of industries.” (https://www.kiplinger.com/slideshow/business/T012-S001-best-college-majors-for-a-lucrative-career- 2019/index.html) In July 2019, a joint statement by the Society of Classical Studies and the Archaeological Institute of America was published to highlight the many benefits to both students and faculty that come with the study of Classical Studies and Archaeology, including issues relevant in society, politics, government, the arts, and hard sciences. (The complete statement can be found in Appendix B of this document.)

Background Information

It is important to understand the size and offerings of the Department of Classics, and the four possible merger partners being considered.

The Department of Classics in the College of Arts and Sciences offers two majors, a co-major, a minor, two thematic sequences, and three Miami Plan courses. Five faculty are members of the department, four of them continuing faculty. All of these four are tenured.

The Department underwent Program Review in 2018 (see Appendix C) in which the review team identified a number of issues that needed to be addressed including curriculum and enrollments in both majors and language classes, and lack of ongoing resources for hiring new faculty. Organizational structure was addressed as well, recommending that the Department develop a plan to maintain the discipline’s presence on campus, including consideration of a merger with another department.

Four CAS departments have been identified as potential partners. Table 1 provides information regarding the size, offerings, number of faculty, number of students in each of the departments under consideration. Information from the Department of Classics is also included.

The Implications of Consolidating Classics with another Department

There are financial implications when departments are consolidated, partitioned, transferred, or consolidated. In the case of a consolidation of the Department of Classics with another department in the College of Arts and Sciences, the most significant financial impact is the savings of a Chair’s stipend (which is 10% plus one month’s salary and other fixed expenses). This can range anywhere from about $24-$38K annually. Additional savings would typically come in the form of staff salary as well, although at this time, the Department of Classics has no administrative staff member. Merger with another department may require the addition of another administrative staff member to help alleviate the administrative burden in the new departmental home (especially in the area of study abroad support).

There are other implications of a merger that are more difficult to quantify, including the savings of faculty service time when in a larger department, and higher visibility of the Department of Classics courses which could bring in additional students both to the major and minor, but also to their larger service courses.

Meeting Highlights

Department of Classics Faculty

Faculty members wanted to share what they perceive as the strengths of their Department, which include: 1. Strong research profile of all four tenured faculty members 2. Strong teaching faculty with consistently high teaching evaluations; all teach service courses 3. Strong students 4. Active in university service and outreach to high school teachers and students 5. Curriculum that is attractive to all students; courses offered in support of the University Honors Program 6. Involvement in the Humanities Center and a commitment and investment in the Humanities 7. Strong study abroad/study away/on-line courses 8. Strong interdisciplinarity; the Department regularly offers cross-listed coursework 9. The Department offers a diverse approach to the teaching of Classics, focusing on bringing an historical perspective to modern issues

The faculty also expressed concerns as follows: 1. Wish to stay together to maintain the integrity of their program (this has since changed) 2. Move to a non-language department; language is critical to Classics 3. Perceptions/misperceptions of what a partner department thinks Classics is 4. Do not want to become the service core of another department 5. Future faculty lines; will they be able to hire in the future? Keep their one VAP? 6. Maintain their visibility as a Department; want the name Classics incorporated into the name of their merger partner 7. Wish to stay in Irvin and proximity to the language lab 8. Joint archeology minor has to be part of the merger conversation (only two faculty members left to teach in that minor - one in Classics; one in Anthropology)

Individual meetings with Classics department faculty reiterated these key concerns. While each member of the Department had his/her own ranking of which potential departments were the ‘best’ all seemed to be more concerned about staying together as a unit, no matter where they landed. Each had his/her own

Overall Page 67 of 230 Attachment Page 20 of 49 Attachment C Classics, FrenchASA andResolutions Italian Consolidation February 20 and 21, 2020

reasons for wanting one potential partner over others, but none appeared to be ‘deal-breakers’. Specific opportunities and concerns voiced included:

Opportunities: 1. Association with another language department is preferred, and would be more seamless 2. Working with another group of colleagues who are intellectually synergistic 3. Classics brings good students with them to a new partner 4. The department is a supportive home for LGBTQ+ students and could bring that to the new partner

Concerns: 1. Being swallowed up by a larger department; becoming the ‘service’ arm of a department; seen as ‘second class citizens’ 2. Becoming a merger target in the future if partner with a small department 3. Losing visibility as a program/department 4. What are the possibilities of hiring more Classics faculty in a new departmental home? 5. Is merger of Classics the beginning of a move to consolidate all languages into a Department of Languages? 6. Will a curriculum review be done in the new partner department? The Classics department just went through that; would it have to be done again?

Meetings with Department Chairs of Potential Merger Partners

Four departments were identified as potential merger partners by members of the Department of Classics. Meetings with the chairs of each of the four (GRAMELAC, French and Italian, History, and Comparative Religion) identified a set of opportunities and concerns. Key opportunities and concerns included:

Opportunities 1. Department could begin to offer ancient history classes again (History; Comparative Religion) 2. Department could re-envision itself and be creative in new course, program, study abroad Development (French and Italian) 3. There are common materials and significant overlap in subject matter (French and Italian) 4. There is a common set of values and strong commitment to scholarship (French and Italian) 5. Critical Race studies courses would be welcomed offerings in partner department (History)

Concerns

1. Teaching languages is not part of the potential partner discipline (History) 2. The languages are not structurally tied to the languages taught in potential partner department (GRAMELAC) 2. The ancient world focus is exactly opposite of the potential partner’s mission (Comparative Religion) 3. Resources - what resources will come with welcoming new faculty into the partner department (all potential partners) 5. Governance with respect to hiring decisions, voting rights (all partners) 6. Curriculum - will partner courses be cut in order to offer Classics courses? (French and Italian) 7. Differences in class sizes and workload issues (History)

Overall Page 68 of 230 Attachment Page 21 of 49 Attachment C Classics, FrenchASA andResolutions Italian Consolidation February 20 and 21, 2020

Meetings with Potential Merger Partner Faculty

Dr. Barr attended faculty meetings of three of the four potential merger partner departments. The fourth department faculty were asked for any concerns that they had, with offers to meet individually, and offer thoughts via telephone or email.

Opportunities 1. One department was cautiously optimistic about the possibilities that a merger with Classics could bring to them; 2. Seen as a chance to be creative and develop a cohesive, collaborative department; receptive to cross-listed courses and new study abroad options for students

Concerns 1. Governance and curriculum 2. Resources and future tenure track faculty lines 3. Administrative support 4. Departmental name change 5. What happens if there are no more majors? What will the Classics faculty teach?

Meeting with Classics Students

Eight students attended an evening meeting of the Classics Club to express their concerns regarding a merger of the Department of Classics with another department yet to be named. Overwhelming concern is curricular: - will the major still exist? - will a merger affect the number of courses offered - what is the future of Greek? - what happens if the major goes away, and I haven’t graduated yet?

Other concerns included: - how a merger will affect the national reputation of the Department of Classics - will the department continue to get tenure-track lines if they merge with another department?

Answers to Concerns

While there are questions and concerns for which the answers have yet to be determined (ex. Governance; resources), there are questions that can be addressed. Other common questions are around issues of curriculum and course offerings.

Concern: Will the potential partner lose courses or be forced to cut curriculum in order to accommodate the Classics courses and curriculum? Answer: No; many departments have multiple curricula. Each Program will be evaluated on its merits and viability, just as they have always been.

Concern: Will the Classics major still exist? What happens if the major goes away and I haven’t graduated? Answer: The Classical Humanities major will continue to exist; the Classics faculty are currently working on a revision to it, which will incorporate the courses of the current

Overall Page 69 of 230 Attachment Page 22 of 49 Attachment C Classics, FrenchASA andResolutions Italian Consolidation February 20 and 21, 2020

Classical Languages major. The plan is for the Classical Languages major to be phased out beginning next year. All students currently enrolled in any major may complete that major. (The Bulletin of courses under which you entered determines the requirements of the major and the department is obligated to offer those courses.) Any change to offerings is made effective for future students only.

Concern: How will department chairs be chosen? Answer: Department chairs are ultimately chosen by the Dean and Provost. All tenured faculty are eligible to be department chair.

Recommendation

When the Department of Classics approached Senate in April of 2019 with a request to merge with another department, the faculty of Classics had already identified and reached out to the four possible merger partners explored herein. Clearly, the faculty felt that there was potential synergy and opportunity within each of the four, and that each of the four was an acceptable partner. The goal of the process coordinator was to find which of the four offered the most opportunity and support of the merger.

It is important to understand why the merger was determined as the best course of action by Classics faculty, even after their Program Review team encouraged them to remain a stand-alone department. The rationale for asking for a merger came as a result of several factors: the department chair stepping down from that position, and no one stepping up to take on that role; the loss of the administrative staff to another position and no replacement; the need to restructure to deal with limited enrollment and limited resources; and the goal to maintain the presence of Classics on campus in a relevant way.

In order to determine the most suitable merger partner for the Department of Classics, meetings were held to identify both the wants and needs of Classics, and what the faculty thought that they offered potential partners. A review of the conversations with all stakeholders brought an obvious choice of merger partner. Of the four possible partners, the Chair and Faculty of the Department of French and Italian were the most receptive and the most enthusiastic of any merger partner. While other departmental partner options were willing to engage in the conversation, the faculty of the Department of French and Italian saw opportunities for new programming, cross-listed courses, and interdisciplinary research with colleagues from Classics.1 The Department of French and Italian, and the Department of Classics are relatively comparable in size, in the same building (so there would be no need to relocate anyone except Dr. Tuck to the Department of History), and there is an obvious relationship between Latin taught in the Department of Classics and the Romance languages taught in the Department of French and Italian. Additionally, both departments have strong study abroad programs where there may be synergy and cross-over of students.

1 During this time, Dr. Tuck expressed concerns about his fitting into a language department, and asked to move to the Department of History, instead of the Department of French and Italian.

Implementation

Plans for implementing must be developed expeditiously in order for the Department of Classics to be fully merged with a new departmental partner by Fall 2020. Issues that need to be resolved include: governance (Who has voting rights? How are faculty lines allocated? How is curriculum administration and workload managed?; curriculum (Does the partner department lose courses to accommodate courses from Classics?); resources (administrative support; departmental funds); departmental name, etc.

The implementation team should include members of both departments (Classics and merger partner). Classics students have asked to be included in this process.

Miami University | Proposal to Establish a [Bachelor of Science in Education] in [Primary Education Pre K- 5] | Page 6

The Primary Education PK-5 program is to be housed in the Department of Teacher Education, which is housed in the College of Education, Health and Society. The current program coordinator, Dr. Sheri Leafgren, reports to the department chair, Dr. Brian Schultz, who reports to the dean, Dr. Michael Dantley. Within the program itself, there are three block coordinators who oversee the courses, field, seminars, and faculty in each of the three "blocked" semesters.

Provide the title of the lead administrator for the proposed program and a brief description of the individual's duties and responsibilities. Include this individual’s CV/resume as an appendix item.

The current coordinator of Early Childhood Education -- the program that is to be changed to Primary Education P-5, is Dr. Sheri Leafgren. The program coordinator prepares reports as described above--for CAEP for ongoing accreditation, Full State Reviews, Annual Assessment Reports and reports to the chair and dean. The coordinator organizes monthly meetings of faculty who teach in the program, including faculty from regional campuses who teach in the program at those sites. She coordinates with the field office and school partners to provide experiences in schools and communities that support program curricula and goals; she serves on the department leadership committee to advise and collaborate with other program coordinators; she leads and/or supports other faculty in dispositional matters with students; she coordinates with office staff and department administrators in scheduling courses, including interactions with other departments that serve our program/students; she is responsible for engaging faculty in recruitment efforts. And the coordinator is the standard-bearer for the department and program goals and threshold concepts.

CV update 2019 Commented [MOU1]: This is not openable.

Describe any councils, committees, or other organizations that support the development and maintenance of the proposed program. In your response, describe the individuals (by position) that comprise these entities, the terms of their appointment, and the frequency of their meetings.

Twelve faculty who teach across semesters and blocked semesters in the program collaborated on responding to the STATE MANDATED changes, and the mission- driven changes described in this document and in the individual course changes also submitted to CIM. These faculty (including full, associate, assistant, and clinical professors) met for 12 full days in spring and summer, 2019 to frame each course and program change. In addition, changes were brought to the full ECE faculty during monthly meetings in spring and early fall to discuss these changes. Toward maintenance and improvement of the proposed program, faculty will engage in small group meetings (block coordinators, block faculty, critical introspection groups, and community/school based groups) to further advance the quality of experience for our students.

4.2 Program development

Describe how the proposed program aligns with the institution's mission.

Overall Page 82 of 230 Attachment Page 35 of 49 Attachment C ASA Resolutions February 20 and 21, 2020

Miami University | Proposal to Establish a [Bachelor of Science in Education] in [Primary Education Pre K- 5] | Page 7

As a program predicated on not only meeting accreditation and state requirements but on critically conscious, justice-oriented priorities, we honor the institution's mission to empower our students to engage their compassion and integrity toward the common good. In this proposed program, teacher candidates are to be involved in student-centered, co-curricular courses and community/school-based experiences in diverse settings toward advancing their intellectual identities, curiosities, appreciation of diverse views, and sense of responsibility to others and themselves.

Indicate whether the institution performed a needs assessment/market analysis to determine a need for the program. If so, briefly describe the results of those findings. If completed, submit the full analysis as an appendix item.

No needs assessment. This is a current active program that is changing to meet a state mandate. In order to provide the courses needed to recommend for a pK-5 license, our program must undergo these changes.

Indicate whether the institution consulted with advisory groups, business and industry, or other experts in the development of the proposed program. If so, briefly describe the involvement of these groups in the development of the program.

No.

Indicate whether the proposed program was developed to align with the standards of a specialized or programmatic accreditation agency. If so, indicate whether the institution plans to pursue programmatic/specialized accreditation for the proposed program and provide a timeline for achieving such accreditation. If the program is already accredited, indicate the date that accreditation was achieved and provide information on the next required review.

The current ECE program is already accredited through CAEP and NAEYC. The upcoming accreditation cycle will shift NAEYC /SPA approval to Full State Review. NAEYC is no longer providing review of programs. In Summer 2022, we will complete a Self-Study Report, Fall 2022, CAEP responds to report; in Winter 2022, Self-Study Addendum; and in Spring 2023, Site visit with final report from CAEP in Fall 2023.

4.3 Collaboration with other Ohio institutions

Indicate whether any institution within a 30-mile radius of your institution offers the proposed program. If so, list the institutions that offer the proposed program, and provide a rationale for offering an additional program at this site.

Any institution in Ohio that previously had an Early Childhood Education program is making the change to a Primary Education program. Locally, this includes Wright State and University of Cincinnati.

Our rationale for continuing to offer this new version of our long-standing program is to honor the students who have chosen to participate Miami University's teacher education Primary PK-5 program and who would like to earn the new degree and license.

*Students who do not meet the requirements above may petition

The program being proposed will abide by all applicable transfer credit policies. Policies governing the transcription of credit are authorized by the Academic Policy Committee and University Senate and aligned with the ODHE transfer and articulation policies. Described in the General Bulletin, these policies articulate the standards for AP and CLEP credit, minimum length of study requirements, credit-hour equivalency, the process of evaluating credit and applying transfer courses to the general education requirements, and clear parameters for graduation requirements, including the number of credits that must be completed at Miami. The Bulletin also explains the specific course credit students receive for completion of the Ohio Transfer Module (which is a set of core courses equivalent to 36-40 semester hours that all Ohio public colleges and universities have agreed count for credit at any Ohio school) as well as Transfer Assurance Guides, Military Transfer Assurance Guides and Career-Technical Assurance Guides. All Miami courses that count for TAG, MTAG, CTAG or OTM credit must advance specific outcomes and be approved by a statewide panel of faculty in the discipline. Miami also has a procedure for students to propose other courses taken at other universities to count for degree and major program requirements.

5.2 Student administrative services

Indicate whether the student administrative services (e.g., admissions, financial aid, registrar, etc.) currently available at the institution are adequate to support the program. If new or expanded services will be needed, describe the need and provide a timeline for acquiring/implementing such services.

The needs and expectations for student administrative services will not change from current levels of need in the ECE program.

SECTION 6: CURRICULUM

6.1 Introduction

Provide a brief description of the proposed program as it would appear in the institution’s catalog (General Bulletin). The description should be no more than 150 words.

The Primary PK-5 major leads to a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. Approved by the Ohio Department of Education, this program prepares graduates to teach students in grades PK through 5th in all content areas. In addition to meeting requirements of the Global Miami Plan, students take courses in Teacher Education; Educational Leadership; Kinesiology and Health; Family Science and Social Work; and Educational Psychology. During their study of justice-oriented and critically conscious curricula and pedagogies, students participate actively in urban and suburban/rural classrooms and communities, culminating in a 15-week, full-time student teaching experience in which they work closely with mentor teachers in Head Start facilities, and in area elementary schools, eventually assuming instructional responsibilities for all classes.

6.2 Program goals and learning objectives

Describe the goals and objectives of the proposed program. In your response, indicate how these are operationalized in the curriculum.

6.3 Course offerings/descriptions

Complete the following table to indicate the courses that comprise the program. Please list courses in groups by type (e.g., major, general education, elective) and indicate if they are new or existing courses.

SECTION 7: ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION

7.1 Program assessment

Assessment efforts are directed by the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness. Because of the accreditation standards of the Higher Learning Commission, each academic department, academic support unit and Student Life unit at Miami University is required to implement a full cycle assessment program for each undergraduate major, general education, free-standing certificates, and all graduate programs.

Each major or degree program specifies at least three learning outcomes to assess, and other units specify at least three major goals or objectives to assess. Each year, data related to the outcomes or goals are collected and analyzed and used for program improvement. When beginning the process of assessment for the first time, departments and units create an assessment plan. Annually or biennially, the assessment data for the three or more learning outcomes or goals are analyzed and discussed and plans for improving teaching and learning based upon those findings are articulated. The summary of the data collected, the analysis and the steps for improvement are recorded in an assessment report which is submitted each year. Plans and reports are reviewed regularly by a university-level assessment committee.

Is your program externally accredited? If yes, does the external body require the program to do direct assessment of student work showing student achievement of your stated learning outcomes? If so, please provide a copy of the assessment requirements/plan to the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness. If not, please answer all the following questions:

• List at least 3 specific student learning outcomes (SLOs) that the students are expected to achieve by the time they complete the program. If the program includes liberal education course(s), articulate any specific linkages between your stated SLOs and Miami Plan principles or competencies.

Students will be able to describe and utilize theories and principles of justice, equity, and democratic life relevant to the problems of PK-5 classrooms, schools, families, and community.

Miami University | Proposal to Establish a [Bachelor of Science in Education] in [Primary Education Pre K- 5] | Page 13

Students will be able to develop and articulate to others an intellectual/scholarly identity toward various ways of knowing, learning, reflecting and acting as pedagogues.

Students will be able to use conceptions of cultural identity and cultural diversity to work in solidarity with diverse individuals, families, and communities in their school and community.

Students will be able to critically examine theories of critical literacies toward applied analysis of problems of practice .

Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of technological literacies for school and community leadership.

Students will be able to select, develop and implement formative and summative assessments to evaluate student understandings to inform instruction.

Students will be able to apply critical lens to see power & privilege and the consequences within and beyond educational contexts

• Identify courses (and examinations or assignments within them) or other culminating projects where these outcomes are emphasized and can be measured, especially near the point of graduation. If relevant, specify any licensing or external exams you intend to use.

While the entire program supports the above SLOs, key courses and experiences in which the outcomes are emphasized and measured via rubrics currently included in EDT 272 (Developmentally Appropriate Practice Project), EDT 346 (Analysis of Children's Learning and Using Assessment to Inform Instruction Assignment), EDT 474 (Children, Family and Communities Human Ecology Project), and EDT 419 (Mid-term and final New Student Teaching Evaluation), EDP 432 (Assessment Plan).

• Describe how you intend to evaluate the learning outcomes by means of the assignment(s)—e.g., rubric(s) or answer key(s) to exam.

Learning outcomes will be measured via key assessments in 4 courses, using holistic rubrics designed to generate data to be used for State review and CAEP accreditation.

• Describe the sampling procedure. What percentage of your student body will comprise your sample? If the sample size is small, make the case that they adequately represent the whole.

N/A

• Describe how you intend to collect student perceptions of their achievement of the program learning outcomes.

Individual and small group meetings with faculty, documented with notes.

Student presentation of work at program faculty meetings. Implementation of SGIDs with a focus on learning outcomes. Final Articulations (one-on-one presentation of meaning-making by students at end of program).

• Describe your plans for regular (annual or biennial, depending on program size) collection and summary of data.

Student benchmarks (GPA, test scores, pre-requisite course completions, ...)are checked per semester. An annual report for the program is prepared with a summary of data and submitted to department, college, and provost. CAEP and state review reports (Self-Study Report,Summer 2022; Self-Study Addendum, Winter 2022; Full State Review/CAEP, Spring 2023.

• Describe your plans for a regular faculty meeting in which faculty discuss assessment data findings and make plans for improvement of teaching and learning based upon the data.

Monthly meetings are held with all faculty who teach in the Primary PK-5 program (includes Oxford, Middletown and Hamilton faculty) will include block- by-block review of working toward goals in practice, including opportunities to hear from current students in the program regarding their progress on Student Learning Outcomes. Once per semester, discussion of and response to assessment data findings. Faculty will be asked to contribute to the Self-Study report to be submitted in Summer 2022.

• Identify who will be responsible for creating and submitting an annual assessment report to the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness at the end of each academic year.

The Primary PK-5 coordinator (currently, Dr. Sheri Leafgren) will be responsible for the annual assessment report.

7.2 Other means of measuring student success

In addition to program assessment, describe the other ways that individual student success in the proposed program will be measured (e.g., graduation rates, exit interviews, job placement, alumni surveys). Describe the measurements to be used, frequency of data collection and how the results will be shared and used for program improvement.

Job placement; State-required tests of content and pedagogy; Early Career Teacher meeting notes (face-to-face alumni meetings); Analyses of program effectiveness via Assessment of Readiness/Willingness to Teach (AR/WT); Supervisor/cooperating teacher evaluations (C-PAST); student teachers complete an exit survey which is reviewed by the student teaching office.

The Miami University Student Success Committee with the support of the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness guides and implements the university's student success evaluation and assessment. Student success is measures through national surveys and projects (e.g., the National Survey of Student Engagement, CIRP Freshman

Executive Summary for the Clinical Health Science Facility February 20, 2020

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics and Ohio’s Department of Job and Family Services 2026 Employment Projections identified health care professions “to be among the fastest growing occupational groups during the decade.” In recognition of this trend, the recently completed strategic plan established health science fields as a priority for the University with a nursing major once again being offered on the Oxford campus and planning for a Physician’s Assistant Program now underway.

A committee of representatives from Biology, Chemistry, Kinesiology and Health, Gerontology, Nursing, Speech Pathology and Audiology was formed to recommend how to advance the Clinical Health Sciences on the Oxford campus. The committee identified synergies among programs and a set of common goals including a focus on holistic human health and a desire for students to have an inter-professional experience that could be accomplished through a health district that includes an additional building to house new and growing programs in the health sciences. These programs include Nursing, Physician’s Assistant, Speech Pathology and Audiology, and the University’s existing Health Services Center.

The evaluation of the site analysis data in conjunction with future program goals has identified an optimal building site near Phillips Hall, the South Campus Parking Garage, the Recreational Sports Center, and the Goggin Ice Center. The site complements a vision of a new health district on the Oxford campus.

Executive Summary for the South Chiller Plant Conversion Phase 2 February 20, 2020

As part of the Campus utility master Plan, Miami University recently converted the South Chiller Plant to simultaneous heating and cooling. Several buildings were converted to accept heating-hot water and chilled water as part of Phase 1. The second phase of this project will address the remaining buildings in this region of campus. This project is a key step in the Utility Master Plan to meet strategic energy reduction and campus sustainability goals of decommissioning the coal-fired steam systems by 2026.

This project includes further conveyance of hot water and chilled water piping in an existing tunnel and direct buried piping from Phase 1 north to Spring Street. This infrastructure improvement is the next step in creating a redundant loop to the central quadrangle of campus and supports future building sites in the newly created Health District.

The Campus Avenue Building will be connected to hot water and chilled water piping and its mechanical equipment will be converted to accept this form of heating and cooling. Currently, the Campus Avenue Building is cooled by a large roof-top chiller that is past its useful life and has been unreliable. Converting the building to central simultaneous heating and cooling will improve the energy efficiency, reduce the carbon footprint, and improve the reliability of service. The project is also currently budgeted to convert Hanna House to simultaneous heating and cooling. The engineering team will evaluate the life cycle cost of this work and determine if an appropriate return on investment exists as part of the design effort.

That payment in any event shall be made to the person who is the registered owner of that Series 2020 Bond on the date that principal and premium is due, or, with respect to the payment of interest, as of the applicable Regular Record Date or Special Record Date or other date agreed upon, as the case may be. The Trustee will furnish a copy of each of those agreements, certified to be correct by an officer of the Trustee, to other authenticating agents and paying agents for Series 2020 Bonds, if any, and to the University.

take such other actions as may be necessary, in view of reasonable expectations at the time of issuance of the Series 2020 Bonds, so that the Series 2020 Bonds will not constitute obligations the interest on which is subject to federal income taxation or “arbitrage bonds” under Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations prescribed under such Sections, provided that, at the discretion of the Fiscal Officer, the University may issue Series 2020 Bonds which are subject to federal income taxation.

Section 8. Credit Enhancement; Other Agreements. If he determines it to be in the best interest of the University in order to achieve maximum cost savings on the Series 2020 Bonds, the Fiscal Officer may obtain credit enhancement for all or any portion of the Series 2020 Bonds.

The Fiscal Officer is authorized to enter into such agreements and to make such changes to the Supplemental Trust Agreement and the Series 2020 Bond form as may be required in connection with such credit enhancement.

(i) (A) the net present value of refunded savings of such particular series of Refundable Bonds shall be at least three percent (3%), (B) the weighted average maturity of such particular series of the Refunding Bonds shall not be greater than 120% of the weighted average maturity of Refundable Bonds to be refunded, and (C) the maximum annual debt service based on all outstanding Bonds of the University issued under the Restated Trust Agreement does not increase as a result of the issuance of the Refunding Bonds; provided, however, it shall be at the discretion of the Fiscal Officer to make exceptions to (A), (B) and/or (C); or

(ii) when other clear advantages to the University would be realized as a result of the refunding, as determined by the Fiscal Officer.

The Refunding Bonds shall be fully registered and numbered as determined by the Fiscal Officer in such manner as to distinguish each Refunding Bond from each other Refunding Bond.

The Refunding Bonds may be registered in the name of either the Original Purchaser or a Securities Depository to be held in a book entry system and the Refunding Bonds as such shall be transferable or exchangeable in accordance with Section 2.06 of the Trust Agreement, provided, however that so long as a book entry system is used for the Refunding Bonds, they may only be transferred to another Securities Depository or to another nominee of a Securities Depository without further action by the University pursuant to subparagraph (e)(iii) of this Section. Notwithstanding Section 2.06 of the Trust Agreement, the University may, and may require the Trustee to, transfer the Refunding Bonds from one Securities Depository to another Securities Depository at any time.

(A) The Refunding Bonds may be subject to redemption at the option of the University prior to their stated maturities on the redemption dates and at the redemption prices specified in the Certificate of Award. The Fiscal Officer may determine in the Certificate of Award that some or all of the Refunding Bonds are not to be callable prior to stated maturity. The Fiscal Officer further may determine in the Certificate of Award that a premium shall be payable to the bondholder upon early redemption of a Refunding Bond and that such premium may be calculated in a manner to make the bondholder whole for the loss of the investment or may be calculated as a percentage of the principal amount to be redeemed.

(B) The Refunding Bonds of one or more maturities may be subject to mandatory redemption pursuant to mandatory sinking fund requirements by the University at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption, on March 1 and/or September 1 in the years and in the principal amounts provided in the Certificate of Award.

(e) Redemption Prior to Maturity.

(i) If fewer than all of the outstanding Refunding Bonds are called for optional redemption at one time, the Refunding Bonds to be called shall be designated by the Fiscal Officer in his sole discretion and in any manner the Fiscal Officer determines, without regard to the order of their maturities or their interest rates. If fewer than all of the outstanding Refunding Bonds of one maturity and interest rate are to be called for redemption, the selection of the Refunding Bonds, or portions of those Refunding Bonds (in integral multiples of $5,000), of that maturity to be called for redemption shall be made in the manner provided in the Supplemental Trust Agreement. If optional redemption of any Refunding Bonds at a redemption price above 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed is to take place on any applicable mandatory sinking fund redemption date, the selection of the Refunding Bonds to be optionally redeemed shall be selected prior to the selection of the Refunding Bonds to be redeemed by mandatory sinking fund redemption.

(ii) Notice of call for redemption of Refunding Bonds, setting forth the information provided for in Section 3.03 of the Trust Agreement, shall be given by the Trustee on behalf of the University.

If and to any extent, however, that the University shall make neither payment nor provision for payment of interest on any Refunding Bond on any Interest Payment Date, that interest shall cease to be payable to the person who was the registered owner of that Bond (or of one or more predecessor Bonds) as of the applicable Regular Record Date; when moneys become available for payment of that interest the Trustee shall, subject to Section 2.05 of the Trust Agreement, establish a Special Record Date for the payment of that interest which shall be not more than 15 or fewer than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment and of the Special Record Date to be mailed to the person who is the registered owner of that Bond on a date not fewer than 10 days prior to the Special Record Date, at the address as then appears on the Register, and thereafter that interest shall be payable to the person who is the registered owner of that Bond (or a predecessor Bond) at the close of business on the Special Record Date.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution or any provision of the General Bond Resolution, the Trust Agreement, the Supplemental Trust Agreement or any Refunding Bond to the contrary, with the written approval of the University, the Trustee may enter into an agreement with a Securities Depository, or the nominee of a Securities Depository that is the registered owner of a Refunding Bond in the custody of that Securities Depository providing for making all payments to that registered owner of principal of and interest and any premium on that Refunding Bond or any portion of that Refunding Bond (other than any payment of its entire unpaid principal amount) at a place and in a manner (including wire transfer of federal funds) other than as provided above in this Resolution, without prior presentation or surrender of the Refunding Bond, upon any conditions which shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the University. That payment in any event shall be made to the person who is the registered owner of that Refunding Bond on the date that principal and premium is due, or, with respect to the payment of interest, as of the applicable Regular Record Date or Special Record Date or other date agreed upon, as the case may be. The Trustee will furnish a copy of each of those agreements, certified to be correct by an officer of the Trustee, to other authenticating agents and paying agents

In developing Regulations for Miami University, the Board of Trustees has kept in mind its dual responsibility to represent the citizens of the State of Ohio and to promote the best interest of the academic community.

While the Board of Trustees, in keeping with its responsibilities, reserves the right of final approval, it will seek the viewpoints of all interested parties in the exercise of this right.

3. Tuition is set by the Board of Trustees each academic year and guaranteed for eight consecutive semesters for each entering Co Winter and summer terms are charged separately based on the guaranteed Cohort per-credit-hour rate.

2. Terms

1. First-Time Student A First-Time Student is any undergraduate, degree-seeking student enrolled on Miami University’s Oxford campus for the first time on or after fall 2016. First- Time Students include students who enroll at Miami after graduating from high school, transfer students who enroll from another college or postsecondary institution, and non-traditional students who enroll on the Oxford campus for the first time. First-Time Students do not include non- degree-seeking students or conditionally admitted students such as students enrolled in the American Culture and English (ACE) Program, College Credit Plus or Advanced High School; exchange students; and other students participating in other pre- enrollment or postsecondary option programs.

2.

Tuition and other fees are set annually by the Board of Trustees for these students.

3. Cohort

1. First-Time Students are assigned to a Cohort (group) based on the semester in which the student first enrolls as a degree-seeking student. Each academic year contains one fall semester Cohort and one spring semester Cohort.

1. Any Oxford campus degree-seeking, undergraduate student who is registered for classes for the first time as of the fifteenth day of the fall or spring term will be assigned to that Cohort year for purposes of determining Tuition, Special Purpose and Course Fees and Room and Board for the four academic years covered by the guaranteed Cohort pri Each Cohort commences with the first semester of enrollment and the pricing remains constant for

Formatted: Footer

Overall Page 164 of 230 Attachment Page 29 of 64 Attachment E Other Business February 20 and 21, 2020

four academic years (e.g., fall 2016 through summer 2020 or spring 2017 through winter 2021).

2. Students may complete as many undergraduate degrees, majors, minors, and/or certificates as they choose within their Cohort period.

3. Students may enroll in graduate-level coursework for programs offered on the Oxford campus at their guaranteed tuition rate until their Cohort period expire.

2. Tuition (Instructional and General Fee) Tuition is the sum of the Instructional Fee and General Fee. For non- Ohio-resident students, Tuition also includes a tuition surcharge. Under the Tuition Promise, Tuition is set each academic year for eight consecutive semesters for each entering fall and spring Cohort. Winter and summer terms are charged separately based on the guaranteed Cohort per- credit-hour rate.

1. Instructional Fee These are the guaranteed instructional costs that First-Time, degree-seeking students will pay. Non-Ohio-resident students also pay a tuition surcharge. Each incoming Cohort is charged its unique, guaranteed resident or non-resident rate for eight consecutive semesters. Full-time students pay no additional Tuition regardless of the number of hours enrolled. Part-time students pay Instructional Fees on a pro-rated, per-credit- hour basis.

2. General Fee These are campus fees charged to all students for non- instructional services and programs on campus, such as orientation, health education and services, recreation, athletics, transportation, access to technology, graduation, the Armstrong Student Center, other student-life facilities and student activities.

3. Room and Board Charges Room and Board charges are the guaranteed rates for Miami’s housing and meal plan options. Students pay a fee based on the housing and meal plan selected. The schedule of fees and options are guaranteed for each Cohort for eight consecutive semesters. Miami University requires first- and second-year students to reside in University-provided housing and to purchase a meal plan.

4. Additional Tuition Promise Guaranteed Fees

1. Special Purpose Fees Special Purpose Fees are additional per-semester charges that vary by college within the University and support specialized Formatted: Footer

Overall Page 165 of 230 Attachment Page 30 of 64 Attachment E Other Business February 20 and 21, 2020

academic programs and instruction in that specific college (i.e., the College of Engineering and Computing major fees and the Architecture, Interior Design and Music major fees in the College of Creative Arts). These fees are charged as applicable and are guaranteed for each Cohort.

2. Course Fees Course Fees are per-credit-hour charges for certain courses or course-related costs and vary based on the course (e.g., the per- credit-hour Farmer School of Business course fee, laboratory fees). These fees are charged as applicable and are guaranteed for each Cohort.

5. Charges and Fines Not Included in the Tuition Promise

1. Service Charges and Fines These are charges and fines incurred by students such as vehicle registration and library and parking fines. These charges and fines will vary from year to year and are not included in Miami’s Tuition Promise.

2. Workshops, student health insurance, textbooks and supplies are not included in the Tuition Promise.

4. Dissemination The terms of the Tuition Promise, along with Miami University Board of Trustees’ approved guaranteed Cohort prices, will be widely disseminated including publication on the Miami University Admission, One Stop for Student Success Services and other student service websites and in the Miami University Policy Library.

5. Additional Provisions

1. Summer/Winter Term Start Students whose first enrollment is a summer or winter term will pay the continuing student/non-degree-seeking student tuition rate for the initial term, but will be assigned to the entering semester Cohort that immediately follows. Summer start students are typically students who have confirmed their enrollment and will be matriculating for the first time for the fall semester immediately following the summer term. By being assigned to the following semester Cohort, these students will receive the benefit of guaranteed tuition for four full years after completing the initial term.

2. Students Enrolled on Both Oxford and Regional Campuses In addition to students who take all of their credit hours during an academic year (fall, winter, spring or summer) on either the regional campuses or the Oxford campus, some students take classes at the regional campuses and the Oxford campus during the same semester or Formatted: Footer

Overall Page 166 of 230 Attachment Page 31 of 64 Attachment E Other Business February 20 and 21, 2020

academic year. Historically, these students have been assessed the tuition applicable to the “campus of the student” for all credit hours taken. Miami University will continue to use the “campus of the student” to determine the tuition applicable for all hours enrolled by the student during an academic year.

3. Exception for Relocating Students and Students Transferring from Ohio’s Public Community and Technical Colleges. When a student transfers from one of Ohio’s public community or technical colleges or relocates from one of Miami University’s regional campuses to the Oxford campus, the student will be assigned to the lowest unexpired Cohort for the duration of that Cohort. The Cohort will be assigned based on the earliest date of enrollment as a full-time undergraduate student at the qualifying institution. When the assigned Cohort expires the student will automatically be placed into the Cohort that went into effect the year after their assigned Cohort (Cohort +1). The student will remain in that Cohort for up to one year and if still enrolled after that Cohort expires, will be placed into the next Cohort (Cohort +2) for the next year and so on until the student is no longer enrolled. (Students admitted for College Credit Plus or other conditional admissions are not considered to be fully admitted). If four (4) or more academic years have elapsed since the student’s first date of enrollment as a full-time undergraduate student at the qualifying institution, then the student transferring from one of Ohio’s public community or technical colleges or relocating from one of Miami University’s regional campuses will be assigned to the oldest unexpired Cohort on the Oxford campus. For Oxford campus students relocating to the regional campuses, these students will pay the current tuition and other fees in effect on the regional campuses. These students may relocate back to the Oxford campus at any time and pay tuition and other fees associated with their original Cohort.

4. Non-Degree Students Students admitted or enrolled as non‐degree-seeking students (students who are not pursuing an undergraduate degree or have not been admitted as a degree-seeking student at Miami University) are not covered by the Tuition Promise and will not be assigned to a Cohort unless the student is subsequently admitted and enrolls as a degree- seeking student. Tuition for these students will continue to be set annually by the Board of Trustees. This includes non-degree-seeking students or conditionally admitted students such as students enrolled in the American Culture and English (ACE) Program, College Credit Plus or Advanced High School; exchange students, and other students participating in other pre- enrollment or postsecondary option programs. Once a student is admitted as a First-Time, degree‐seeking student, the student will be Formatted: Footer

Overall Page 167 of 230 Attachment Page 32 of 64 Attachment E Other Business February 20 and 21, 2020

assigned to the Cohort based on the semester in which the student first enrolled as a degree-seeking student.

5. Re‐Enrolling Students. Re‐enrolling students who were admitted in a degree‐seeking program prior to fall 2016 are not covered by the Tuition Promise and will pay tuition and other fees associated with Returning Students. When a student originally assigned to a Cohort seeks to re-enroll after any period of non- attendance and not more than four (4) academic years have elapsed since the student’s initial degree-seeking enrollment, then the student will be assigned to the student’s original Cohort for the balance of the Cohort period. If four (4) or more academic years have elapsed, then the re‐enrolling student is assigned to the oldest unexpired Cohort on the Oxford campus. Additional Provisions

6. Exceptions to Standard Length of Cohort The Miami University Tuition Promise is for four (4) academic years commencing with either the fall or spring semester. Some students may require additional academic periods beyond the four (4) academic years to complete their baccalaureate degree and will continue to attend the Oxford campus beyond their Cohort period. When certain exceptions are met (as described in Section L of this document) students may extend their guaranteed Cohort price beyond their guaranteed Cohort period. A student must apply for an exception no later than one semester prior to the expiration of their Cohort. Students with approved exceptions will be granted additional courses at their guaranteed Cohort price. The specific courses or length of the exception will be determined as part of any approval.

7. Academic Costs Included in the Miami University Tuition Promise

1. Tuition (Instructional and General Fee) Tuition is the sum of the Instructional Fee and General Fee. For non-Ohio resident students, Tuition also includes a tuition surcharge. Under Miami’s Tuition Promise, Tuition is set each academic year and guaranteed for eight consecutive semesters for each entering Cohort. Winter and summer terms are charged separately based on the guaranteed Cohort per- credit-hour rate.

1. Instructional Fee These are the guaranteed, instructional costs that all First-Time, degree-seeking students will pay. Non-Ohio resident students will also pay a tuition surcharge. Each incoming Cohort is charged its unique, guaranteed resident or non-resident rate for eight consecutive semesters. Full-time students pay no additional Tuition regardless of the number of hours enrolled. Part-time students pay instructional fees on the Cohort pro-rated, per-credit- hour basis. The Tuition Promise does not include workshops.

Formatted: Footer

Overall Page 168 of 230 Attachment Page 33 of 64 Attachment E Other Business February 20 and 21, 2020

2. General Fee These are campus fees charged to all students for non- instructional services and programs on campus, such as recreation, athletics, transportation, technology, the Armstrong Student Center, other student-life facilities and student activities.

3. Special Purpose Fees Special Purpose Fees are additional per-semester fees that vary by college within the University and support specialized academic programs and instruction in that specific college (i.e., the College of Engineering and Computing major fees and the Architecture, Interior Design and Music major fees in the College of Creative Arts). These fees are charged as applicable and are guaranteed for each Cohort.

4. Course Fees Course Fees are per-credit-hour fees for certain courses or course-related costs and vary based on the course (e.g., the per- credit-hour Farmer School of Business course fee, laboratory fees). These fees are charged as applicable and are guaranteed for each Cohort.

8. Other Student Costs Included in the Miami University Tuition Promise The goal of the Tuition Promise is to provide a comprehensive set of costs for completing an undergraduate degree at Miami University. The following costs are also included in the Miami University Tuition Promise:

1. Housing Rates (Room) The Tuition Promise includes a guaranteed price schedule for housing that represents the various housing options available to undergraduate students. The rate charged to the student is based upon the student’s selected or assigned residence type, (e.g., single room, double room, triple occupancy, new construction and renovated hall). If a student changes from one room or hall type to another during the Cohort period, the housing rate charged to the student will be adjusted based on the guaranteed price schedule that is in effect throughout the student’s Cohort period. Student requests to reside in on-campus housing beyond the second year are subject to room availability. If space is available for a student who has already met the residency requirement, the established Cohort rate schedule for student rooms continues throughout the period covered by the guaranteed Cohort price.

2. Meal Plan Rates (Board) The Tuition Promise includes a number of meal plan options from which the student may choose depending on whether the student is residing on- or off- campus. A meal plan is required for students residing in university Formatted: Footer

Overall Page 169 of 230 Attachment Page 34 of 64 Attachment E Other Business February 20 and 21, 2020

housing. A Cohort menu of meal plans and rates is included as part of the Cohort pricing and the actual meal plan cost will be based on the meal plan selected by the student. While the meal plan price will remain guaranteed during the Cohort period, individual meal items and merchandise in retail locations are subject to price changes.

9. Other Student Costs Not Included in the Miami University Tuition Promise All other fees, fines, and costs related to attending Miami University not specifically identified as part of the Tuition Promise are excluded from the guaranteed Cohort price and are subject to price changes. These exclusions include credit workshops, student health insurance and textbooks. While such costs are excluded, Miami University will seek to limit increases to the extent feasible.

10. Cohort Pricing Beyond the Initial Year.

1. Once the initial Cohort Tuition is established, subsequent Cohort increases in Tuition will be based on:

1. The average rate of inflation, as measured by the consumer price index prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (all urban consumers, all items), for the previous sixty-month period; and

2. The percentage amount the Ohio General Assembly restrains increases on in-state undergraduate Instructional and General Fees for the applicable fiscal year. If the General Assembly does not enact a limit on the increase of in-state undergraduate instructional and general fees, then no limit shall apply under this section for the Cohort that first enrolls in any academic year for which the General Assembly does not prescribe a limit.

3. This rate of increase will be benchmarked against other State of Ohio four‐year residential research institutions’ four-year rolling cost averages to account for the impact of the Cohort pricing model on tuition changes. If Miami University’s Cohort Tuition for Ohio residents falls significantly below these institutions, Miami University may elect to submit for approval by the Chancellor of the Department of Higher Education an increase in the forthcoming Cohort Tuition pricing in excess of the stated limitation for Ohio residents.

2. Other increases in Cohort pricing, including the Non-Resident Tuition Surcharge, Special Purpose Fees, Course Fees and Room and Board charges are not subject to the pricing formula set forth above and will be determined by the Miami University Board of Trustees.

11. Student Who Stop Out/Withdraw and Return If a student takes a leave, withdraws, or is judicially suspended from the Formatted: Footer

Overall Page 170 of 230 Attachment Page 35 of 64 Attachment E Other Business February 20 and 21, 2020

University for one or more academic semesters, the four (4) academic year period covered by the guaranteed Cohort price will not be extended. As a result, the student will lose the term(s) of eligibility while absent within the four (4) academic year Cohort period. When the student re‐enrolls, if four (4) academic years have not lapsed since the student’s initial degree-seeking enrollment, then the student will be charged the guaranteed rate based on his or her original Cohort for the balance of the Cohort period. If four (4) or more academic years have passed, then the re‐enrolling student is assigned to the oldest unexpired Cohort on the Oxford campus (as defined in section K).

12. Student Who Require Longer Than Their Cohort Period to Graduate Students who do not complete their undergraduate degree requirements and are not eligible for an exception (as defined below) by the end of their assigned Cohort term, will automatically be placed into the Cohort that went into effect the year after their assigned Cohort (Cohort +1). The student will remain in that Cohort for up to one year and if still enrolled after that Cohort expires, will be placed into the next Cohort (Cohort +2) for the next year and so on until the student is no longer enrolled.

13. Exceptions for Students Who Require Longer Than Their Cohort Period to Graduate There will be some students who will take longer than their guaranteed Cohort period to graduate due to circumstances beyond their control. No later than one semester prior to the expiration of their guaranteed Cohort term, a student may request, an extension of their guaranteed Cohort price. Each case will be evaluated on its own merits to determine whether an extension should be granted and if so, the nature and duration of any extension.

1. A Tuition Promise Appeals Committee will evaluate requests for exceptions. The appeal must fall within extenuating circumstances established by the Appeals Committee as described below.

1. If the Appeals Committee finds that the student cannot complete the degree program within the four (4) academic years of the student’s Cohort due solely to a lack of available classes or space in classes provided by the University, the University will provide the student with an opportunity to take the necessary course or courses without requiring the payment of tuition.

2. Other circumstances will be considered for an extension of the guaranteed Cohort price beyond the four academic years depending on the validity and impact of the circumstances including:

1. Enrollment in a degree program requiring more than 128 hours to graduate

2. Illness or Injury Formatted: Footer

Overall Page 171 of 230 Attachment Page 36 of 64 Attachment E Other Business February 20 and 21, 2020

3. Disability that necessitates a reduced course load as a reasonable accommodation

4. Medical Leave of Absence

5. Victim of Interpersonal Violence or Crime while enrolled

3. If the Appeals Committee determines that the student has provided sufficient documentation of extenuating circumstances that were outside the control of the student and prevented the student from completing the student’s program of study during the assigned Cohort period, the Committee will determine the appropriate period of time or number of courses to extend the guaranteed Cohort price.

4. Any student called to active duty in the United States Armed Services will be given an automatic extension of their guaranteed Cohort price based upon the number of academic terms impacted by the student’s active duty absence.

14. Graduate Courses Students may enroll in graduate-level coursework for designated programs offered on the Oxford campus at their guaranteed tuition rate until their Cohort period expires. Students pursuing this option must meet all university requirements for admission to the program or to enroll in such courses. Following the expiration of their original Cohort, tuition for graduate level coursework will be assessed at the current Oxford campus graduate student rate applicable to the program of study.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES ROUDEBUSH HALL ROOM 212 OXFORD, OHIO 45056 (513) 529-6225 MAIN (513) 529-3911 FAX WWW.MIAMIOH.EDU

Statement of Expectations for the Miami University Board of Trustees

Trustees have one overriding responsibility- to serve the best interests of Miami University. As fiduciaries, the Board’s principal duty requires loyalty to the University as a whole, not to any particular constituency, part of the University, special interest or personal agenda. Trustees must have an objective long-term view.

I. Role of the Board

A. The Board must act and speak as a single entity. No individual Trustee or self- appointed group of trustees shall speak on behalf of the Board or the University. B. The Board’s primary concerns are strategic governance and accountability. The Board is responsible for ensuring the University offers students an exceptional educational experience and produces research that provides economic and cultural benefits to the world, nation and State of Ohio. C. The Board governs through the President and, thus, must refrain from becoming involved in day-to-day operations. D. The Board should accept the principles of academic freedom and shared governance, under the authority of the president and the Board of Trustees, as fundamental characteristics of university governance. E. The Board must be familiar with, committed to, and abide by the major responsibilities and duties of the board as set out in the laws of this State and Regulations of Miami University. F. The Board must ensure the fiscal integrity of the University. G. The Board must ensure there is an annual evaluation of the President in his role leading the university.

II. Role of Individual Trustees

Each Trustee is expected to:

A. Accord to every other Trustee civil, respectful treatment even when Trustees have different opinions or recommendations. No Trustee should be publicly critical of actions taken or decisions made by the Board or President. B. Hold in the strictest confidence any information, written or oral, whatever the source, the Board receives or discusses in confidence.

Overall Page 183 of 230 Attachment Page 48 of 64 Attachment E Other Business February 20 and 21, 2020

C. Support the University philanthropically, commensurate with one's means, as an expression of a personal commitment to the University's well-being and assist in the solicitation of others. D. Attend Board meetings and, as assigned, committee meetings. Each Trustee is expected to prepare diligently and participate constructively in all Board and committee meetings. This includes the obligation to:

• Carefully read and review all relevant materials; • Thoughtfully prepare for all Board and committee meetings; • Expend the time and effort to understand the issues at hand; • Disclose promptly and fully any potential or actual conflicts or dualities of interest; and • Make informed decisions based on an analysis of objective data and, during deliberations, apply sound management principles and prudent business judgment.

E. Direct constituents to the President when presented with concerns about the performance of individuals or offices. F. Not initiate communication on behalf of the University or in the role of University Trustee with external constituencies (members of Congress, Governor, senior State executives, the Chancellor, members of the General Assembly, or local or federal officials) without the prior consent of the Board Chair or President. Should any external constituents contact a Trustee, the Trustee should be mindful not to speak on the Board's behalf or otherwise violate the letter or spirit of this Statement. In all instances, Trustees should promptly report to the Board Chair any conversations with government officials. G. Not interact with external stakeholders on specific University issues, projects, policies, or concerns unless that interaction occurs directly and expressly as part of a Board or Committee approved process. H. Adhere to the highest ethical standards and perform University duties without regard to any personal interests. Student Trustees have a unique responsibility to ensure that the views of students are heard in Board deliberations. Student Trustees should also share with other students the Board’s perspectives on University issues. In performing both of these functions, Student Trustees should keep in mind the needs of all constituencies within the University.

Because Trustees agree to honor the standards, procedures and expectations outlined in this document, compliance is fundamentally a matter of self-enforced honor. A Trustee concerned about the comportment of a fellow Trustee should speak with the Board Chair in confidence and as expeditiously as possible.

Enrollment Update

Director of Admission Bethany Perkins spoke of increased outreach by Admissions, and increased inquiries from prospective students, over the numbers-to-date of last year. She stated that key efforts include texting reminders, unbranded email from counselors, outreach to those who start an application, allowing test scores to be submitted on transcripts, and providing counselors with a limited number of application fee waivers for them to distribute.

Internationally, Director Perkins stated that Miami has hired a consultant to assist in enhanced recruitment in China. She informed the Board that Miami is working through QHI for all campuses as the exclusive pathway provider. Previously, QHI had only been the regional campus provider. Beyond China, she conveyed that international applications overall are up,

Overall Page 213 of 230 Attachment Page 1 of 18 Attachment G Prior Meeting Minutes February 20 and 21, 2020

even with a reeducation in applications from China. She noted specifically the increase in applications from Vietnam, which are up by 120 applications, or 70.6% over 2019.

The enrollment presentation is included as Attachment A.

Strategic Plan and Academic Affairs Update

Provost Osborne provided a retention and graduation rate update, stating regional campus retention overall is up, and above national averages. He identified gaps/shortfalls among various demographics, which the university is addressing, with the largest gaps being in four-year graduation rates between minority and non-minority students (gap of 9.1%), majors in different divisions (gap of 21%), and between female and male students (16.1%); for each comparison, the gap narrows when the six-year graduation rates are compared.

He also updated the Board on the status of the four Dean/VP searches in progress:

 VP For research and Innovation  Dean of the Graduate School  Dean of the College of Engineering and Computing  Dean of the Farmer School of Business

He stated that the searches are proceeding well and are on track to identify the new leaders before the end of the Spring semester, with each to begin in these positions by the start of the 2020- 2021 academic year.

The Provost then provided highlights on the progress of Miami RISE. He featured the development of an Honors College, with a goal of seeing 400 new Honors first-year students per year, beginning in the Fall of 2021. He also featured the comprehensive curriculum review, stating that two consulting firms have been engaged to bring in national data as a companion to our internal data and review. A shared governance committee of subject experts will work with departments to identify opportunities. He also highlighted efforts to coordinate advising and retention/graduation rate enhancement efforts.

Provost Osborne also provided a Boldly Creative update, and stated that 19 vacant faculty lines have been reallocated to meet strategic priorities in Art, Engineering, Nursing, Analytics, and Social Work.

Provost Osborne’s presentation is included as Attachment B.

Overall Page 216 of 230 Attachment Page 4 of 18 Attachment G Prior Meeting Minutes February 20 and 21, 2020

benefits and limitations of both the President’s Climate Leadership Commitments (PCLC), and an independent commitment, and will soon deliver their report to President Crawford.

They discussed the three scopes of emissions, which under PCLC, must be addressed – Direct (such as coal), Indirect (such as purchased electricity), and Other Indirect (such as air travel). They noted that Miami has made significant progress over the past decade in reducing energy use, and in reducing carbon emissions. Highlights of Miami’s progress include:

• Zero use of coal beginning in 2017 • Gold STARS rating from AASHE • Included in Sierra Club’s top 100 “Coolest Schools” • Included in the Princeton Review Green College list • 22 academic programs w/sustainability learning outcomes • 100 courses & 322 research proposals • Student Sustainability Council formed • Bicycle Friendly Campus designation • 29 LEED buildings • Energy system transformation, to include geothermal

Work Plus

State Senator Bill Coley and Ohio Department of High Education Senior Vice Canceller Gary Cates provided the Board with an update on Work Plus. Work Plus is a college- workforce partnership, promoted by the State of Ohio, whereby students can graduate from college debt-free, with significant workforce experience. Students work part-time at partner employers, and attend classes at a Miami Regional Campus. The students earns pay, and, after any scholarships and grants are applied, the employer pays the student’s remaining tuition costs.

Senator Coley has proposed legislation to promote Work Plus throughout the State, and it is anticipated that it will be sent to the Governor early next year.

Associated materials are included as Attachment B.

Associated Student Government

Student Body President Jaylen Perkins and Branden Small, ASG Secretary for Diversity and Inclusion presented a student government proposal that the lobbies of the three Western campus residence halls be named in honor of Civil Rights advocates James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, who gave their lives fighting for the rights of others.

Vice President Scott introduced President Perkins and Secretary Small, explaining that this is the next step in Miami’s embracing and honoring the legacy of Western College for Women, and their role in promoting civil rights and the Freedom Summer of ’64. He told of the Freedom Summer of ’64 award created and awarded by Miami to recognize leaders in the fight for the rights of others; it was first awarded to Congressman John Lewis, a Summer of ’64

Overall Page 217 of 230 Attachment Page 5 of 18 Attachment G Prior Meeting Minutes February 20 and 21, 2020

training attendee in Oxford, and to the Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, the last site Goodman, Chaney and Schwerner were known to have visited.

Western Campus is the site of Miami’s Freedom Summer Memorial, dedicated in 2000, and rededicated on the 50th Anniversary of Freedom Summer in 2014, with the addition of three trees, sculptures and chimes to honor Goodman, Chaney and Schwerner; the site has been the location of University Convocations, including the 2014 Convocation, and more recently the 2018 Convocation of Wil Haygood, featuring his award-winning Civil Rights book “Tigerland.”

Recently, National Civil Rights Conference presented Miami Professor Ann Elizabeth Armstrong, and the Western College Alumnae Association with the Civil Rights and Social Justice Award. And this summer, Miami will host the 10th annual National Civil Rights Conference on campus, in Oxford. The conference’s theme will be “Rise, Advocate, Educate and Cooperate: The Challenge of Change.”

President Perkins and Secretary Small, then told of their wish to make the legacy of 1964 a tangible component of student life. By choosing residence halls as a place to honor the three slain civil rights leaders, it would serve as daily reminder of their sacrifice, and the need for all to answer the call to serve others.

Chair Budig thanked the students for bringing this proposal to the Board and for the service they are providing their fellow students and the entire Miami Community.

The Board then transitioned to the Public Business Session, which began with consideration of the proposed namings.

Comments by the Chair

Chair David Budig relayed the following information:

Good morning and welcome to this meeting of the Miami University Board of Trustees.

Thank you once again to our student leaders and their naming proposal which has led to the advancement and furtherance of our efforts to honor and keep alive, for future generations, the struggle, sacrifice, and noble goals of those involved in that fateful summer in 1964. Your recommendation of naming the western campus residence hall common areas after the three young men who lost their lives is truly admirable.

I’d like to begin by sharing with everyone some incredible news. Those of us who attended Miami, along with our faculty, staff, friends, community members and Miami parents, know how special this University is. In Oxford, and at our regional campuses, our academics are second to none and the entire Miami experience for all who attend is a lifelong treasure. We know this, but unless quantified or measured, it is difficult to convey to others just how special an education and an experience Miami provides. The news I want to share is that there is now a measure and a ranking to help convey the impact a university has upon one’s life and career after they graduate.

Georgetown University’s McCourt School for Public Policy’s Center on Education and the Workforce has taken data from the expanded College Scorecard to rank 4,500 colleges and universities by return on investment. Among Ohio’s public, four-year, bachelor degree institutions, Miami’s Hamilton, Middletown, and Oxford campuses take the top three spots for greatest Net Present Value and overall return over the long term. This is no surprise for those of us familiar with all Miami has to offer, but it is refreshing to see it finally validated. Thank you to Georgetown University for providing this meaningful service and well done to our caring, committed and devoted faculty and staff.

Overall Page 219 of 230 Attachment Page 7 of 18 Attachment G Prior Meeting Minutes February 20 and 21, 2020

I would like to recognize and thank Senator Bill Coley and Senior Vice Chancellor Gary Cates for being here today and for working closely with Miami and local employers to help lead the way in providing a pathway to employment and a debt-free education for the residents of Southwest Ohio. As I have stated in previous reports, Work Plus is a win for our students, a win for employers, a win for Miami and a win for the State of Ohio. We fully expect Work Plus to become a model program as it is implemented throughout the state and we firmly believe it will be a foundation that is replicated throughout the nation.

Work Plus is a prime example of a program that will meet the changing needs of our students, employers, our region, the state, the nation, and indeed the global workforce. Universities, if they are going to continue to serve the needs of students and succeed in the future, must adapt, restructure, refocus, and reallocate to shift from meeting yesterday’s needs to facilitate today’s and tomorrow’s opportunities.

Change is not easy – but it is essential as we shift our focus from what was once vibrant in the past to what has become crucial and indispensable today and for the future. As I have mentioned often, Miami is not unique in facing challenges and strong headwinds as we adapt to meet a shifting landscape in higher education. We are however, grateful for the support and vision of Governor DeWine, the members of his administration and other state leaders such as Senator Coley and Senior Vice Chancellor Cates who understand the changing role of higher education in Ohio. When the people, leaders, employers, and organizations of our incredible State work together, no target is out of reach and great achievements are possible. We look forward to continuing to work with the state to advance Ohio initiatives.

Another example of working with the State is through Mr. Randi Thomas’ Government Relations Network. The Government Relations Network is a group made up primarily of well- informed Miami students from wide-ranging majors who meet with our local, state and federal elected leaders to inform them of Miami University and what our students are doing to advance the community and our state. On October 29, more than 100 Miamians participated in the largest Statehouse Day in university history. The Miami delegation consisted of 70 undergraduate students, 5 graduate students, 26 faculty and staff, and 3 alumni. Team Miami met with over 120 Ohio General Assembly Members and shared their experiences in undergraduate research, experiential learning, community engagement and how the Miami community strives to fulfill state priorities. For Miami, it wasn’t just “Statehouse Day” it was a “Statehouse Takeover Day.”

In addition, nine undergraduates from our Government Relations Network group, along with President Crawford, were involved in a press conference at the Statehouse in November. They shared their work experiences with companies in Ohio - from internships at General Electric, to working with Ohio start-ups, to attacking data sets for the Cleveland Clinic as a part of their first-year business integrated core course requirement. Our students also discussed our focus on state priorities through research - one example of this is addiction and solutions to it. The student team and President Crawford also visited leadership from the Ohio Business Roundtable, Jobs Ohio, and Third Frontier. From computer science, digital studies and IMS, to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and to political science, our students and graduates are impacting our state in positive ways as we accelerate even faster in the digital Artificial Intelligence world. On behalf of the Board, and all Miamians, please allow me to extend our gratitude and thanks to Randi Thomas and the Government Relations Network, and to our state leadership.

I would like to also thank our special guests today - Adam Sizemore, Helaine Alessio, Suzanne Zazycki and the entire Sustainability Committee who have worked diligently with our incredible team in Facilities Management to collaboratively find ways to reduce Miami’s energy use and carbon emissions. Achieving a 39% reduction in energy use and a 45% reduction in emissions in just over ten years is nothing short of extraordinary. It speaks to our collective commitment to sustainability - and as Adam, Helaine and Suzanne remarked earlier - our leadership among like-institutions in making real, significant progress in reducing consumption, and progressing toward carbon neutrality – well done to you all!

I would now like to share an update on the special relationship between Miami University and the Myaamia Tribe. Last month, Miami Athletics hosted the inaugural “Celebrating Miami: Tribe & University” week in mid-November, highlighting the unique and longstanding partnership between Miami Athletics and the Myaamia Center on Miami’s campus. This partnership stems directly from the relationship between Miami University and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma that started in 1972 and was formalized in 2001.

Miami University is fortunate to have 32 Myaamia students enrolled on campus this academic year. In preparation for the special week, the Myaamia students played an integral part in planning the activities and events and it was clearly a huge success. Fans also had the opportunity to learn about the relationship between the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and Miami University, the Myaamia language and culture, and they had the opportunity to interact with the Myaamia students on campus.

At all athletic home games for the week, Miami student-athletes paid tribute to the partnership with different uniform elements. For football and hockey, fans saw a new helmet decal celebrating the partnership, while at volleyball and men’s basketball, the teams unveiled new uniforms with the inclusion of the Myaamia Heritage Logo. Additionally, the hockey team is playing all season long at the Steve “Coach” Cady arena with a specially-designed puck with the heritage logo.

That logo is a traditional Miami Tribe ribbon work pattern which highlights two large geometric diamonds extending on either side of a central diamond - the large diamond on the left represents the Miami Tribe while the large diamond on the right represents Miami University. The central diamond, made by the intersection of the two larger ones, represents the shared vision, cooperation and deep respect for the reciprocal learning that results from both groups working collaboratively. At the MAC Championship football game last weekend, we saw the ribbon work logo displayed once again, on each Miami football player’s helmet.

We are also so proud of our alumni and I’d like to highlight Wil Haygood, who received the 2019 Ohioana Award which is given for the best book about Ohio or an Ohioan. Wil received this award for his book “Tigerland.” He was also a runner-up for the prestigious Dayton Literary Peace Prize.

Wil’s book tells the story of East High School’s Championship seasons against the backdrop of the tumultuous year of civil unrest in 1968. Many of our students were the very first to read the book, receiving a pre-edition copy for their first-year student reading program and it was fitting that they were able to hear Wil speak in person at that year’s Convocation held on

Overall Page 221 of 230 Attachment Page 9 of 18 Attachment G Prior Meeting Minutes February 20 and 21, 2020

Western Campus at the Freedom Summer Memorial. We are extremely proud of Wil and the many Miami alumni who are positively impacting so many lives every day.

Most importantly, I’d like to highlight the marquee event of the day - the recognition of our graduates this afternoon. Nearly 1,400 students will become our newest alumni, and six graduates will become our nation’s newest military officers. Our featured speaker will be Richard Campbell, the 2019 recipient of the Benjamin Harrison Medallion, one of Miami’s highest and most prestigious awards to faculty. It promises to be an exceptional, uplifting event, and I encourage everyone to join us there later today.

Lastly, I would like to congratulate David Saylor, Chuck Martin and his staff and the entire Miami football team on their thrilling MAC championship win and wish them luck at the Lendingtree Bowl on January 6 in Mobile, Alabama where we will meet – and beat - Louisiana– Lafayette. Good luck team!

On Behalf of the Board of Trustees, I hope you and your loved ones have a happy and safe holiday season.

Thank you, this concludes my remarks.

Love and Honor.

Student Body President, Jaylen Perkins, addressed the Board during the Public Study session.

Academic and Student Affairs Committee

Report of the Committee Chair

Committee Chair Diane Perlmutter relayed the following information:

The Academic and Student Affairs Committee met yesterday in the Shriver Center. During the meeting, four resolutions were considered, and the Committee unanimously recommends approval for all of them today.

The Committee received written reports from the University Senate and from student leaders. The Committee heard from the Provost, the Vice President for Student Life, the Vice President for University Communications and Marketing, and the interim Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Success. The Committee received presentations on several topics, and also reviewed written reports, which will be available in the meeting’s minutes.

We began the meeting in the Admission Auditorium, where the Admissions staff treated the Committee to a prospective student welcome and information session. It was not a lecture, but their actual presentation - it was quite immersive and informative to have a true firsthand experience to better understand the admission process and what today’s parents and prospective students are looking for with a college education. Thank you to our wonderful Admissions team for this opportunity.

Vice President Brownell then addressed the Committee, highlighting a transition to a new generation of students. Dr. Brownell was followed by interim Vice President Shock who updated the Committee on retention, and also provided a presentation on student debt. Vice President Sparks then updated the Committee, providing Social Media demographics, analysis, and recommendations.

Provost Osborne presented four resolutions for consideration – The IMS Department name change, a Bachelors in Business Analytics, a Masters in Business Management, and submission of the annual remediation report to the state. All are unanimously recommended for approval.

Finally, we also heard from Dean Dollár, Dr. Chagdes, Dr. Jones and several students regarding the College of Engineering and Computing.

Thank you, that concludes my report.

Finance and Audit Committee

Report of the Committee Chair

Acting Committee Chair Mark Ridenour relayed the following information:

The Finance and Audit Committee met yesterday at the Marcum Conference Center. The Committee considered one tuition ordinance and eight resolutions at the meeting. All nine items are recommended for approval later in today’s meeting.

The Committee began the meeting with the annual report from the University’s independent auditors. The report by RSM was relatively brief and routine. A great deal of work goes into the audit and the preparation of the annual financial statements and reports. I want to thank the University’s associate controller, Jennifer Morrison, and her staff for their excellent

Overall Page 224 of 230 Attachment Page 12 of 18 Attachment G Prior Meeting Minutes February 20 and 21, 2020

work again this year.

The Committee considered one tuition ordinance at the meeting. The ordinance proposes to maintain the current tuition and fees for the Professional MBA program for the fourth consecutive year and to establish a per credit hour rate of $995 for a new graduate program in data analytics. Both of these graduate programs are offered by the Farmer School of Business.

A resolution to adopt the annual efficiency report was also considered at the meeting and was endorsed by the Committee. The efficiency report is submitted annually to the Ohio Department of Higher Education and for the third consecutive year the efficiency goal was exceeded by the University. More importantly, these savings are being used to grow student scholarships and make a Miami education more affordable.

The Committee also considered five facility related resolutions at the meeting. The capital plan that is submitted to the Ohio Department of Higher Education every other year was reviewed with the committee and the committee endorsed the funding request for the proposed Clinical Health Sciences building. The Ohio General Assembly is expected to pass a capital appropriations bill sometime in the new calendar year.

In consideration that the funding for the Clinical Health Sciences building may require the University to issue tax exempt bonds to partially fund the construction of the building, a capital expenditure declaration was recommended that will permit funds expended prior to the issuance of the debt to be funded by such bond proceeds. However, this declaration does not obligate or authorize any new debt.

The Committee also considered three capital project resolutions. The Committee received a request to renovate and repurpose the former Harris Dining Hall for swing space for departments displaced by future renovation projects. The initial need for this space is for the Student Health Center which is expected to be displaced for two years by the construction of the Clinical Health Sciences building.

The Committee also considered a resolution authorizing the renovation of Dodds Hall. As you may recall, this project was to be completed this year but the larger than expected freshman class caused the project to be delayed. The project is expected to commence this May and be completed for Fall 2021.

Finally, the Committee received a recommendation for completing safety and pedestrian improvements to both High and Patterson streets. These improvements will be similar to those completed on parts of Patterson Avenue two summers ago. All five of the proposed facility resolutions were endorsed by the Committee.

The final two resolutions considered by the Committee were presented and recommended by the investment subcommittee. The first is to establish a $1.5 million quasi-endowment for scholarships from unrestricted endowment distributions. The second resolution is for changes to the non-endowment funds investment policy. The policy changes are intended to align the policy with the move to an outsourced chief investment officer and to update the standards used in funding the investment fluctuation fund. Both resolutions were endorsed by the subcommittee and the full committee.

Overall Page 225 of 230 Attachment Page 13 of 18 Attachment G Prior Meeting Minutes February 20 and 21, 2020

Finally, the Committee received a brief update from senior vice president Creamer on the five year budget plan that the Trustees adopted in February. The budget plan has been amended to increase the amount to be reallocated for the next two fiscal years and to implement the five year budget adjustments earlier wherever possible. These changes will provide added financial flexibility and potentially provide additional funds for investing in new academic programs. The Committee endorses the proactive actions being taken by the administration in response to the constantly shifting financial landscape higher education faces today. These are difficult decisions but they also are decisions that will better serve the needs of our students and secure a promising future for our University.

Mr. Chairman, that concludes the report of the Finance and Audit Committee.

Ordinances and Resolutions

The Finance and Audit Committee Ordinances and Resolutions are included as Attachment G.

Ordinances

Farmer School of Business Master Program Tuition

Senior Vice President Creamer spoke in support of the ordinance setting tuition for graduate programs with unique costs and market conditions – the Professional MBA, and the MS in Business Analytics.

Trustee Ridenour then moved, Trustee Pascoe seconded, and by roll call vote, the ordinance was unanimously approved, with all eight voting in favor and none opposed.

Resolutions

Capital Improvement Plan and Funding Request

Senior Vice President Creamer spoke in support of the resolution. As part of the biennial capital appropriation, the State asks each of Ohio’s public universities and colleges to submit a six-year capital improvements plan and a biennial funding request. The resolution is to approve the 2021-2026 Capital Improvement Plan and the 2021-2022 funding request, and to authorize SVP Creamer to amend each as necessary to conform to allocations made by the State of Ohio.

Trustee Ridenour then moved, Trustee Shroder seconded, and by voice vote, the resolution was unanimously approved, with all voting in favor and none opposed.

High Street Safety

Senior Vice President Creamer spoke in support of the resolution to control pedestrian crossings and improve pedestrian safety on High Street .

Trustee Pascoe then moved, Trustee Robinson seconded, and by voice vote, the resolution was unanimously approved, with all voting in favor and none opposed.

Dodds Hall Renovation

Senior Vice President Creamer spoke in support of the resolution to renovate Dodds Hall. The Dodds Hall renovation was previously scheduled to begin last summer, but was delayed to provide increased housing capacity to better accommodate the large number of incoming first-year students during academic year 2019-2020.

Trustee Haines then moved, Trustee Ridenour seconded, and by voice vote, the resolution was unanimously approved, with all voting in favor and none opposed.

Harris Hall Renovation

Senior Vice President Creamer spoke in support of the resolution. At one time Harris Hall was one of a number of peripherally located dining halls, before the campus plan shifted dining locations towards the center of campus to better meet student needs and desires. The Harris dining hall has not been operated for several years, and this resolution proposes its transition to swing space for the health center, assuming construction of the clinical health science building is approved. Following the completion of this project, Harris Hall will be used as swing space for future projects such as Bachelor Hall.

Trustee Shroder then moved, Trustee Ridenour seconded, and by voice vote, the resolution was unanimously approved, with all voting in favor and none opposed.

Declaration of Official Intent

Senior Vice President Creamer spoke in support of the resolution. The resolution addresses the use of potential future bond proceeds. It is not a debt authorization itself, but states the intention of use, which can be referenced by a later debt issue. The declaration essentially allows today’s spending to be funded by a future bond issue.

Trustee Ridenour then moved, Trustee Robinson seconded, and by voice vote, the resolution was unanimously approved, with all voting in favor and none opposed.

State of Ohio Efficiency Report

Senior Vice President Creamer spoke in support of the resolution accepting and authorizing submission of the report.

Trustee Haines then moved, Trustee Ridenour seconded, and by voice vote, the resolution was unanimously approved, with all voting in favor and none opposed.

Quasi-Endowment

Overall Page 227 of 230 Attachment Page 15 of 18 Attachment G Prior Meeting Minutes February 20 and 21, 2020

from the quasi-endowment to be used primarily to support scholarships.

Trustee Ridenour then moved, Trustee Pascoe seconded, and by voice vote, the resolution was unanimously approved, with all voting in favor and none opposed.

Revised Investment Policy

Senior Vice President Creamer spoke in support of the resolution which proposes changes to the non-endowment investment policy.

Trustee Shroder then moved, Trustee Haines seconded, and by voice vote, the resolution was unanimously approved, with all voting in favor and none opposed.

The Finance and Audit Committee Ordinances and Resolutions are included as Attachment G.

Student Trustee Reports

Student Trustee Cremeans relayed the following information:

Good morning and thank you. I can’t help but admire our beautiful campus and little city of Oxford this morning. This time of year is certainly magical with the lights, winter chill, and students filled with excitement over the chance to take a long nap. The physical beauty of campus is unmistakable, but I have been intentional about finding beauty in the many tiny moments as my time as a student all too rapidly shrinks.

Perhaps a bigger moment I would like to call your attention to was a celebration on November 8th on all of Miami’s campuses to celebrate our first generation students. In recognition of National First Generation Day, a team of staff, faculty, and students led by Craig Bennett had coffee, donuts, and other goodies for Miami’s large community of first gen students. That evening, the Crawfords opened up Lewis Place to all to celebrate all First Gen Miamians. While all of the celebration was important, these students were also able to access other students, faculty and staff that are first gen, learn more about resources at Miami, and get information on filling out FAFSA. I am so thankful for this team and their efforts to make Miami a more inclusive place.

This semester, I was student teaching, but delighted to have enrolled in a class at Miami Hamilton. My newly intimate exposure to the branch campuses has clued me into the vibrant and wonderful community of staff, faculty, and students that are not to be forgotten. The Miami Regionals Tutoring and Learning Centers are home to activities shaping these communities and gearing students for success. Late this November, the Hamilton campus hosted their fifth annual “International Fest,” celebrating the diverse backgrounds and experiences of hundreds of folks as part of the Miami family outside of Oxford. Food brought in by students and restaurants alike featured cuisine from places such as Brazil, China, Peru, Mexico, and India and was enjoyed by all. Likewise, students shared more about their culture while learning from others.

Just as is diversity, mental health is prioritized on the branch campuses. Hamilton and Middletown both offered a “Relaxation Room” to students during exam week, that is, this week,

in order to help students refresh and relax. The rooms were host to students relaxing with a massage chair, yoga, puzzles and games, warm drinks, and even coloring to help students find calm spaces. The Oxford campus offered many similar services to students.

Now, with finals wrapping up, we are facing graduation. I want to speak about a student I have mentioned before. One year ago, almost to the date, I spoke about a student who transferred into Miami from community college in the summer of 2018 to study physics. While at Miami, she has gotten involved in the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation, become a tutor, participated in undergraduate research, attended advocacy days with the Office of Institutional Relations, and more. I bring her up again not just because she is a talented student, but because she is a reminder of those little Miami moments that make all of the difference. This summer, she stared down the threat of leaving Miami without completing her degree. She faces financial burdens and is often the only caretaker for her three younger siblings. A first generation American in an immigrant family, she has faced incredible adversity in her educational journey. Fortunately, she was able to find the right resources that Miami has to offer and completed her summer classes and has gone on to a successful fall semester.

Today, she will be one of the many bright faces excitedly awaiting the presentation of her degree. She is only one of many students that have overcome great adversity to obtain their Miami education. She thanks her family at home and the Miami family that has taken her in. Her story is a testament to the power of our community here - one I am honored to be a part of. My congratulations go to her, her family, and all of the other graduates this semester.

Love and Honor.
